Eyes can only see what they want When they’re open minded to the thought Of getting hurt again beating to the bone With the thought of all your worst events Is that you just look don’t touch Oh you think you know It’s exactly what you want for love, love Your heart without a key and just a lock to bleed This wreck you’ve made it’s all you’ll need This is what it takes to breathe We’re getting up again This is what it takes to fake a smile and say That everything’s okay As long as I take blame Picture perfect down the drain again and again I’m really tired of these Stupid little people knocking you to the ground You would’ve never found The mess you made I hope it’s worth all of the shame
This is what it takes to breathe We’re getting up again This is what it takes to fake a smile and say That everything’s okay As long as I take blame We sit inside our heads 'Cause this is such a curse We sit inside our heads 'Cause nothing ever worked Nothing ever works 'Cause what if this doesn't work We sit inside our heads This is such a curse And it never ever worked This is what it takes to breathe This is what it takes to fake a smile and say That everything’s okay As long as I take blame This is what it takes to breathe (We’re getting up again) This is what it takes to fake a smile and say That everything’s okay As long as I take blame
