lee pardini - what it takes lyrics
[verse 1]
if you look out at the skyline
from far enough away
the city’s just a row of broken t++th
its rumbling and it’s growling
it festers and decays
but i still hear it calling out for me
[verse 2]
i thought my debts were settled
that some rules had been enforced
as a bead of sweat starts rolling down my cheek
i was good at treating symptoms
but i never found the source
so these voices might not ever let me be
[chorus]
but i know i’m never gonna break
if i can find you at the end of every day
they’ll say i don’t have what it takes
i just won’t let go of what it takes away
what it takes away
[verse 3]
i coulda been a contender
but i burned a bit too bright
until i couldn’t take another swing
i kept up with the training
but i’ve given up the fight
and now i’m being forced back in the ring
[chorus]
i know i’m never gonna break
if i can find you at the end of every day
they’ll say i don’t have what it takes
i just won’t let go of what it takes away
what it takes away
[outro]
what it takes away
what it takes away
what it takes away
what it takes away
what it takes away
