[Intro - Spoken Word, Raspy Male Vocals]
What does it take? Just tell me.
[Verse 1 - Rap Rock Vocals]
I've been running circles trying to crack your code
Words fall flat every time they’re told
You’re fire and ice in the same damn breath
Every time I’m close you’re just out of step
I’m losing sleep just thinking of you
All I wanna know is what I gotta do
[Pre-Chorus - Emotional Male Vocals]
I’m standing here with nothing to hide
Heart on my sleeve, can’t swallow my pride
Tell me now before I lose my mind
[Chorus - Big Pop Rock Vocals]
What does it take to get you?
What do I gotta prove?
I’m shouting in the dark just trying to break through
Tell me the truth—am I not enough?
Or are you scared of falling in love?
What does it take to get you?
[Instrumental Break - Guitar Riff]
da-da-da-da (power chords)
[Verse 2 - Rap Rock Vocals]
I’m not perfect, I’m fucked up too
But every line I write is about you
You laugh it off, say I’m too intense
But I can’t pretend to play on the fence
Give me a sign, just throw me a bone
I’m sick of feeling this alone
[Pre-Chorus - Emotional Male Vocals]
I’m standing here, the choice is yours
Can’t keep knocking on your locked-up doors
Tell me now before my hope is torn
[Chorus - Big Pop Rock Vocals]
What does it take to get you?
What do I gotta prove?
I’m shouting in the dark just trying to break through
Tell me the truth—am I not enough?
Or are you scared of falling in love?
What does it take to get you?
[Bridge - Raspy Male Vocals, Soft]
I’d burn these bridges if you asked me to
Give up my pride if it’s what I gotta do
I’m here, I’m raw, I’m begging you
What does it take, what does it take?
[Chorus - Big Pop Rock Vocals]
What does it take to get you?
What do I gotta prove?
I’m shouting in the dark just trying to break through
Tell me the truth—am I not enough?
Or are you scared of falling in love?
What does it take to get you?
[Outro - Spoken Word, Fading]
Just tell me... what does it take?
