lyrics

Worth It

Got loaded up, tore away from all you knew, and all you had
You started new, just for me, I’ve never known that kinda love
I didn’t know how to be, I’d only know you from so far, so far away
Be we held on tight to uncertainty’s chest, wished for the best, then push came to shove

We’ve traveled over mountains, o’er these ragin’ stormy seas
We’ve been through hell and high water, yea, you and me
Through the struggle, the joy, and the pain, and through all these fears
You’re worth it, you’re worth it, babe, you’re worth every tear
“
Is love some sick and twisted’ wound, ill with young naive dreams
Or is it our chance to grow beyond, lose ourselves, to find our way
Remember that day, in the vacant lot, it was the worst I’ve had, and since.
But, we’ve made it through, a little scraped and bruised but stronger for our stay

We’ve traveled over mountains, o’er these ragin’ stormy seas
We’ve been through hell and high water, yea, you and me
Through the struggle, the joy, and the pain, and through all these fears
You’re worth it, you’re worth it, babe, you’re worth every tear
“
We’ve traveled over mountains, o’er these ragin’ stormy seas
We’ve been through hell and high water, yea, you and me
Through the struggle, the joy, and the pain, and through all these years
You’re worth it, still worth it, babe, you’re worth every tear
“
