I've seen the rain fall down
And wash away a town
I've seen strong hearts easily broken
Why do some things survive
While others live and die
How can a man let his love go unspoken

I couldn't stand to see us end up that way
Just another tragedy
And every night I promise another day

Whatever it takes
I will be there
By your side baby anywhere
When you're lost and alone
I'll bring you home
I will come through for you
Whatever it takes
Whatever you need
Whatever comes down between you and me
When the road gets rough
You've gotta trust
I will come through for you
Whatever it takes

I've opened every door
I always wanted more
I didn't have much to believe in
I searched the world for you
I found what's really true
It's your love that gives me a reason

Baby it's only you who can free my heart
I can't do it on my own
You carry the light of day baby
Through the dark

Whatever it takes
I will be there
By your side baby anywhere
When you're lost and alone
I'll bring you home
I will come through for you
Whatever it takes

Baby I'm bound to you to release my heart
I can't do it on my own
We'll find the light of day baby
Through the dark

Whatever it takes
La la la la la
Whatever it takes
La la la la la
Whatever it takes
La la la la la
