What’s It Going To Take

Verse 1:

It’s the strangest of confessions
It’s the mark of something true
When everything you brought to me
Gave me something else to lose
Now I know you’ve had your moments
And I know I’ve had mine too
But what’s it going to take today
For me to tell you I love you?

Verse 2:

Mercy spoke to me last night
When I was sleeping by myself
She said, “Do you remember last goodbyes
When you put me on that shelf?”
The fires of frustration
Burn the sadness passing through
And so what’s it going to take today
For me to tell you I love you?

Bridge:

I’m the only one who knows the answers
To the questions I was too afraid to ask
And I wondered why you tore yourself to pieces
‘Til I put them back together and I broke them just as fast

Verse 3:

There’s a stillness in the outburst
There’s a prison without a door
You caught me in between the lines
When I was shaking on the floor
I could write a million stories
About how you saw me through
But what’s it going to take today
For me to tell you I love you?

I may not see tomorrow
But even if I do
What’s it going to take today
For me to tell you I love you?
