Whatever It Takes

Whatever It Takes- Lifehouse

A strangled smile fell from your face

It kills me that I hurt you this way

The worst part is that I didn't even know

Now there's a million reasons for you to go

But if you can find a reason to stay

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

Believe that I can change

I'll keep us together

Whatever it takes

She said If we're gonna make this work

You gotta let me inside even though it hurts

Don't hide the broken parts that I need to see

She said like it or not it's the way it's gotta be

You gotta love yourself if you can ever love me

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

And give me a break

I'll keep us together,

I know you deserve much better

But remember the time I told you the way that I felt

That I'd be lost without you and never find myself

Let's hold onto each other above everything else

Start over, start over

I'll do whatever it takes

To turn this around

I know what's at stake

I know that I've let you down

And if you give me a chance

Believe that I can change

I'll keep us together

Whatever it takes

This song is very near and dear to my heart lately, because I'm going through a situation it strongly applies to. It tells of a relationship that's seen hurt and someone was wronged. And he's saying that he realizes he hurt her, even though he didn't know it at the time. But he's trying to correct his mistake, he's willing to change for her. Because he loves her. And love can conquer all if you let it. And he's saying that he'll do whatever it takes to fix her broken heart and bring them together again. And that's exactly how I feel right now.

This song is a bit of an alternative feel with a sad love song motif. It's a good song for anyone who wants to make things right in their relationship, and who loves the other person enough to change for them.

My boyfriend recently left me. And he told me he still loves me, and that he needed to have some space because he can't interact with me normally because of it. He can't be with me because of things going on in his life, and I understand that. And I said some things I didn't mean, and I ended up driving him farther away. Now I would do anything to fix it. I would do anything to get him back because I still love him. And this song fits the situation perfectly, because I hurt him without knowing it, and I would do whatever it takes to fix it. But he won't speak to me now, and even though he left on semi good terms, I'm scared he won't love me when he comes back. And that's something that scares me to death. I love him so much, and I don't want to lose him forever. I'm sorry....

Hope you enjoyed listening.
