Worth It
I am just a lightweight,
Too high on the emotions.
I am supposed to be great,
But all of these notions
Do not make any sense.
Meanwhile you are lifting
The world, being the defense.
Everything is still shifting
So our paths crossed more
Than once in this lifetime.
Darling, we are still at war
With people who stop our climb
To the top. They do not know
Our ups and downs. They do
Not understand that we show
Up no matter what. I knew
That even though people may
Disregard our gifts to the world,
You catch me when I sway.
Nights are spent being curled
Up alone, but some day it might
Be different and worth it all.
Everyday grind is a sight
For sore eyes, but the wall
Will be torn down between
Us one day for good. I want
Us to be there when the screen
Has been lifted. They try to taunt
You to give it all up, but I would
Rather not have this with someone
Else. I still see all of the good
In you even when there is no sun.
Too high on the emotions.
I am supposed to be great,
But all of these notions
Do not make any sense.
Meanwhile you are lifting
The world, being the defense.
Everything is still shifting
So our paths crossed more
Than once in this lifetime.
