Worth It

You told me I was what you needed
I was the bandages that covered up your bleedin
I took the shattered pieces of your past
And I placed together this jig-saw glass
Reflections of what you wanted and what you just couldn't change
And I fell for your love, when I got lost in this exchange

You told me we could make it
You told me it was real
You told me you'd never fake it
You told me I could feel
What is it like to be worth it?
What does love feel like when it's real?

You gave me the innocence in your eyes
That he stole from you with his family ties
You told me I could fix you
Take this life stained in the darkest of hues
Turn it into a life that you could see yourself living
But you got so used to taking from me you failed to see how much I'd been giving

You told me we could make it
You told me it was real
You told me you'd never fake it
You told me I could feel
What is it like to be worth it?
What does love feel like when it's real?


You told me I was different, that I was the sweetest you'd ever known
But you just weren't strong enough to call me your own
You couldn't comfort my disease when I needed it most
And I just couldn't escape my bi-polar ghost
You told me you still loved her, and I knew all along

When the tears start accumulating, sing me this song...

When someone tells me we could make it
When they tell me that it's real
When they tell me they'd never fake it
When they tell me that they can show me how it feels
Show me what it's like to be worth it...
When they try to show me how love feels when it's real
