Whatever It Takes
ÉúÃüÖ®ÎݺϳªÍÅ Lifehouse Lyrics

A strangled smile fell from your face
You tried to hide your pain with a smile, but I could see how hurt you were

What kills me that I hurt you this way
It's heart-breaking to know that my actions caused you pain

The worst part is that I didn't even know
I was oblivious to the fact that I was hurting you and that's the worst part

Now there's a million reasons for you to go
I understand that I have given you many reasons to leave and I don't blame you for wanting to

But if you can find a reason to stay
If there's even a small chance that you can forgive me and stay, I'll do anything

She said if we're gonna make this work
She told me that for our relationship to succeed, we need to be honest with each other

You gotta let me inside even though it hurts
I have to be vulnerable and share my true self with her, even if it's uncomfortable

Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see
I can't pretend everything is okay and hide the parts of me that need fixing

She said like it or not it's the way it's gotta be
She told me that honesty is the only way forward, and it might not be easy

You've gotta love yourself if you can ever love me
She said that I need to love and accept myself before I can truly love someone else

I know you deserve much better
I acknowledge that you deserve better treatment from me

Remember the time I told you the way that I felt
I reminded her of the time I expressed my love and commitment to her

And that I'd be lost without you and never find myself
I told her that without her, I would be lost and incomplete

Let's hold onto each other above everything else
I suggested that we prioritize and cherish our relationship above everything else

Start over, start over
Let's put the past behind us and start anew

And give me a break
And if you can forgive me and give me a second chance

I'll do whatever it takes
I am willing to do whatever is necessary

To turn this around
To fix our broken relationship

I know what's at stake
I understand the importance of our relationship and what's on the line

I know that I've let you down
I acknowledge that I have disappointed you

And if you give me a chance
And if you're willing to give me another chance

Believe that I can change
I will prove to you that I can change and be a better partner

I'll keep us together
I will work tirelessly to keep our relationship strong

Whatever it takes
I am willing to go to great lengths to mend our relationship
