It Takes...

by xdiamondwingsx   Jun 26, 2005


To go against what you desire
For what I need
To throw yourself into the fire
And just let yourself bleed

It takes strength
To break your own heart
It takes a willingness at great length
To break us apart

It takes a man
A man like you
It takes a man
To do something so loyal and true

To cut yourself open
And nearly die
To put yourself through such dicipline
To deal with that endless cry

It takes strength
To break your own heart
It takes a willingness at great length
To tear us apart

It takes a man
A man like you
It takes a man
To do something so loyal and true

But I have a side, too, you see
A side of anger and sadness and loneliness
A side that haunts me constantly
But the more I think of your side, it hurts less and less

It takes faith in you
To trust you with this
It takes a clear view
To live without your kiss

It takes a girl
A girl like me
It takes a girl
To trust you completely

It takes love
It takes the two of us
To make it through and rise above
To live on total trust

But it takes a man...
A man like you
It takes a man...
To do the things that you do

And for that... I love you.
