I played the part of a broken heart upon a show
I played that part so lonely and so well
Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you
Yeah, I know that you´ve been shattered
You been bruised
We both know what it feels like when you lose
But I´d bet my life on a roll of the dice for you

If that´s what it takes, that´s what I´d do
Tonite´s the night, I´m gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that´s what it takes, that´s what I´d do
If that´s what it takes...

I bet you counted all the tears I bet you´ve cried
I bet you swore you´d never let love back inside
´Cause it hurt youway too bad to say good-bye
Now, there´ll be times when I might put us to the test
And it´s hard for broken hearts to just forget
But I´m driving blind, I´ll lay it all on the line for you

If that´s what it takes, that´s what I´d do
Tonite´s the night, I´m gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that´s what it takes, that´s what I´d do
If that´s what it takes...

So, when you feel like jumping
Just when your heart starts pumping
When you´re stading out on that ledge-staring over the edge
I´ll be there to talk to you down
I´ll be there before you hit the ground

If that´s what it takes, that´s what I´d do
Tonite´s the night, I´m gonna prove it to you
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through
If that´s what it takes, that´s what I´d do
If that´s what it takes...

If that´s what it takes, that´s what I´d do
If we take the time to do it right, I know we´ll put through
If it took all my life, I´d prove it to you
If that´s what it takes, that´s what I´d do
If that´s what it takes...
