Worth It

For so long I watched you cry, Heard your every sleepless night But I can only watch for so long, Knowing I’m useless. That there’s nothing I can do or say, To help you through this. I have to walk away before it’s too late, Before I’m hurt again. I have tried so hard to stay strong But I am breaking… I’m falling apart. I can’t stay here, I can’t let you break my heart. I know you don’t mean to, I know you don’t want to, You can’t help who you are. And I’m sorry it has to end this way, But I know I’m too weak to stay. This stitched together heart, can only hold for so long. One more break and I’ll be gone. I know I have to go, But in my heart I also know: I can’t leave you. I love you too much to walk away. I need you in my life, Not just today but always. And if letting my heart break again, Means that you’ll stay here with me; It’s worth it. It’s worth every tear that will follow. To put a smile on your face for a day, Knowing I make you happy; Just being me, it’s worth it. The pain this will cause, The tears that will follow. And that day, That day you walk away again; My heart will break… My heart’s gonna break. But I’ll take it, It’s worth it to have you stay. This time we've been given is a gift, And I‘m not gonna waste another minute. I won’t waste another day. I won’t shut you out To keep my heart safe, I won’t keep my heart safe. I don’t know what will come with tomorrow, But I have you today, And I promise you I won’t let our time slip away.
