Whatever It Takes

I'll do whatever it takes to make this work
As long as we're both on this earth
I'll do whatever it takes
Do whatever it takes

Your train leaves in a week
But time flies by so fast
We hold back our tears as I
Help you pack your bags
I know you need to go
And there's nothing I can do
But love you
I watch you from the station
As the train fades away
I keep trying to tell myself
That everything will be okay
There are cars and planes
There's Skype and winter break
Oh
But you need to know

I'll do whatever it takes to make this work
As long as we're both on this earth
Do whatever it takes
Do whatever it takes
I'll do whatever it takes to see this through
I'll do whatever I have to do
Do whatever it takes
Do whatever it takes

We're still talking every day
It's like you never left
And even after all these years
I fall more in love with every breath
But I can't help but notice
Something's changed
I tear my head apart
Trying to figure out what's wrong
Are you stressed about school
Are you feeling alone
I decide to wait until you wanna say
(Say, say, say)
But you need to know

I'll do whatever it takes to make this work
As long as we're both on this earth
Do whatever it takes
(Whatever it takes)
Do whatever it takes
(Oh)
I'll do whatever it takes to see this through
I'll do whatever I have to do
Do whatever it takes
(Whatever it takes)
Do whatever it takes
(Do whatever it takes)
Do whatever it takes
(Ahhhhh)

I'm just sitting on my bed
Waiting for the phone to ring
You'd call at the same time
Every day to hear me sing
Two hours go by
Two hours go by
And I finally get your call
We start talking and I feel my heart slowly start to fall
You've met another girl
She's become your world
But I know

I did whatever I could to keep us strong
But there was somebody better for you all along
But it's okay
Yeah, it's okay
I did whatever I could till the very end
But you'll always be my best friend
I still love you
(I still love you)
I'll always love you
(I'll always)

So you've finally heard the story
About the girl and the boy
Who tried to fight a distance
That they just couldn't avoid
But some things you can't control
No matter what you do
But love is wanting them to be happy
Even if it's not with you
