Worthwhile

[Verse 1] The hallway light is flickering again Like it’s trying not to watch me leave Your shadow still lives inside this room In the dust and the seams of everything And I could drive this town into the dark Just to outrun what I can’t erase But every radio keeps saying your name Like a prayer I don’t deserve to say [Pre-Chorus] And all of these nights blur together, All of these words come right apart. I keep holding the edge of the feeling, Like it’s all that’s keeping my heart. [Chorus] And I don’t need the world to forgive me I just need you to stay for awhile When everything burns down around us You still look at me like I’m worthwhile And I know these hands are unsteady And these scars don’t fade with time But if I disappear in the silence I want you to remember I tried [Verse 2] There’s a crack in the mirror by the door Where I barely recognize my face Every dream I had keeps breaking slow Like waves against a rusted hull And you move through me like a melody Half remembered and out of key Still I’d trade every tomorrow I have For one night where you still believe in me [Pre-Chorus] And maybe the truth is ugly, Maybe love was never clean. But your voice cuts through the wreckage, Like the only thing left redeeming me. [Chorus] And I don’t need the world to forgive me I just need you to stay for awhile When everything burns down around us You still look at me like I’m worthwhile And I know these hands are unsteady And these scars don’t fade with time But if I disappear in the silence I want you to remember I tried [Bridge] Yeah the sky keeps falling in slow motion Every memory hits like rain And I’m tired of acting fearless When I break a little more each day [Final Chorus] I don’t want another empty answer I don’t want another last goodbye When everything feels cold and distant You’re the only reason I still fight And if this whole damn world keeps burning Without a way to outrun my mind I just want you to know this moment You were the best thing that I could find The best thing I could find The best thing I could find Yeah, the best thing... ... I could find
