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

You said just look (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 is 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 this 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 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
