7. If That's What It Takes (4:48)
Comfort me
From a world where no one cares
Where the words turn into cages
And memories cut like glass
I closed my eyes on you
Put the blames on myself
The weight is on my shoulders
Throw my heart in the wishing well
I've got to face and tame my demons
I know it's hard to start over again,
yeah, I know.
Through trials and tribulations
Salvation's like a long lost friend
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes
No use in pretending
Ain't no pride in it all
A cure for independence
Is when you're standing in the cold
Have I used have I used my chances
Have my bridges all been burned
Give me a sign of inspiration
To find a stone that's left unturned
I see a distant promise of Eden
Lifting my spirits so high
If I can break out of the circle
Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes [solo]
I've got to see a promise of Eden
Lifting my spirits so high
If I can break, break out of the circle
Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change, baby
If that's what it takes
Take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes
If that's what it takes
From a world where no one cares
Where the words turn into cages
And memories cut like glass
I closed my eyes on you
Put the blames on myself
The weight is on my shoulders
Throw my heart in the wishing well
I've got to face and tame my demons
I know it's hard to start over again,
yeah, I know.
Through trials and tribulations
Salvation's like a long lost friend
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes
No use in pretending
Ain't no pride in it all
A cure for independence
Is when you're standing in the cold
Have I used have I used my chances
Have my bridges all been burned
Give me a sign of inspiration
To find a stone that's left unturned
I see a distant promise of Eden
Lifting my spirits so high
If I can break out of the circle
Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes [solo]
I've got to see a promise of Eden
Lifting my spirits so high
If I can break, break out of the circle
Gonna kiss that carousel goodbye
I'll take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change, baby
If that's what it takes
Take back all of the hurt
For your love I've taken for granted
I'll do anything to change
If that's what it takes
If that's what it takes
