What It Takes

[Verse 1: Lauren Daigle, Lauren Daigle & Trombone Shorty, Lauren Daigle & Choir]
Maybe you don't know how to start
All over again
Maybe there's a fine line between
Salvation and sin

[Pre-Chorus: Trombone Shorty, Trombone Shorty & Choir]
Are you ready to go through the darkness?
Are you ready to go through the pain?
Are you ready to live in loneliness
If that's what it takes?

[Chorus 1: Trombone Shorty, Choir, Trombone Shorty & Choir]
I've been hurt (What it takes)
I've been used (What it takes), now
I've been broken-hearted (What it takes)
But how my heart breaks (What it takes)

[Verse 2: Lauren Daigle, Lauren Daigle & Trombone Shorty, Lauren Daigle & Choir]
Maybe you don't know who you are anymore
Do you?
Maybe you got a little too much
Too much too soon

[Pre-Chorus: Trombone Shorty, Trombone Shorty & Choir]
Are you ready to go through the darknеss?
Are you ready to go through the pain?
Arе you ready to live in loneliness
If that's what it takes?

[Chorus 2: Trombone Shorty, Choir, Trombone Shorty & Choir]
I've been down (What it takes), yeah
I've been burned (What it takes)
I've been laughed at (What it takes)
Right at my face (What it takes)

[Trumpet Solo]

[Outro]
I've been hurt (What it takes), oh
I've been used (What it takes, oh, I've been used)
I've been laughed at (What it takes, I've been laughed at)
Right at my face (Hey, what it takes, hey)
Oh (What it takes)
(Say what) I've been laughed at (What it takes)
I've been used, I've been burned, yeah (What it takes)
I've been laughed at (What it takes)
