oh, tell me, what would it take
for you to believe in me

oh, tell me, what would it take
for you to stand by me

oh, tell me, what would it take
for a life to matter more

oh, tell me, what would it take
for this hope to thrive on

oh, tell me, what would it take
for you to see past the noise

oh, tell me, what would it take
for you to know what’s fleeing past

oh, tell me, what would it take
for me to win out against the dark

oh, tell me, what would it take
for me to strive harder for the light

oh, tell me, what would it take
for me to beat my own inner demons

oh, tell me, what would it take
for me to strive against the powers that be

oh, tell me, what would it take
for me to have a little hope in the glass

oh, tell me, what would it take
for me to know what it’s like to love again
