I played the part of a broken heart upon a show 
I played that part so lonely and so well 
Thought that love belonged to someone else, not me and you 
Yeah, I know that you`ve been shattered 
You been bruised 
We both know what it feels like when you lose 
But I`d bet my life on a roll of the dice for you 

If that`s what it takes, that`s what I`d do 
Tonite`s the night, I`m gonna prove it to you 
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through 
If that`s what it takes, that`s what I`d do 
If that`s what it takes... 

I bet you counted all the tears I bet you`ve cried 
I bet you swore you`d never let love back inside 
`Cause it hurt youway too bad to say good-bye 
Now, there`ll be times when I might put us to the test 
And it`s hard for broken hearts to just forget 
But I`m driving blind, I`ll lay it all on the line for you 

If that`s what it takes, that`s what I`d do 
Tonite`s the night, I`m gonna prove it to you 
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through 
If that`s what it takes, that`s what I`d do 
If that`s what it takes... 

So, when you feel like jumping 
Just when your heart starts pumping 
When you`re stading out on that ledge-staring over the edge 
I`ll be there to talk to you down 
I`ll be there before you hit the ground 

If that`s what it takes, that`s what I`d do 
Tonite`s the night, I`m gonna prove it to you 
Do I have to break down, baby just to break through 
If that`s what it takes, that`s what I`d do 
If that`s what it takes... 

If that`s what it takes, that`s what I`d do 
If we take the time to do it right, I know we`ll put through 
If it took all my life, I`d prove it to you 
If that`s what it takes, that`s what I`d do 
If that`s what it takes...
