"Whatever It Takes"


Tell me I'm wrong
You see, I've heard this thing about you
Some sad stories about you
I look at you know
As always, you're keeping a straight face
Acting like, like you truly love this place
(but) you see, I'm told that the place that you long for
Is where the shadows won't dance on your walls anymore
Where the nightmares will leave you alone

I'll keep the lights out, I'll tell you fairy tales
Whatever it takes to make you feel safe
I promise you now, they will disappear
I'll take you back home, they won't find you there

Tell me I'm wrong
You see, I've heard this thing about you
Some sad stories about you
Please, understand
I need you to tell me the truth now
No more hiding or lies now

I'll keep the lights out, I'll tell you fairy tales
Whatever it takes to make you feel safe
I promise you now, they will disappear
I'll take you back home, they won't find you there

I'll keep the lights out, I'll tell you fairy tales
Whatever it takes to make you feel safe
I promise you now, they will disappear
I'll take you back home, they won't find you there
