For What It's Worth

I won't lie

To lay beside

Won't cheat

To eat

Or steal the shoes

From your feet

Won't be wasting time

Yours or mine

You asked me who I am before you cried

And I know why

'Cause I've been inside my mind

I told you your reaction was how it's supposed to be

When I asked my own reflection

It lied back to me

Hmm

You're breathing out a truth I've never heard

Hmm

And saying it in ways that hurt

I wanna thank you

For what it's worth

I told you when

And at what cost

What I'd gained

And what I'd lost

And you know why

That I pretend

And you know where I've been before

And would likely go again

When we went to sleep last night I held you in my arms

And woke up hours later

With a pain inside my heart

Never told my stories in such a brutal light

But unlike the morning papers

It's never black and white

Hmm

You're breathing out a truth I've never heard

Hmm

And saying it in ways that hurt

But I wanna thank you

For what it's worth

When we went to sleep last night I held you in my arms

And woke up hours later with a pain inside my heart

Never told my stories in such a brutal light

But unlike the morning papers

It's never black and white

Hmm

You're breathing out a truth I've never heard

Hmm

And saying it in ways that hurt

But I wanna thank you

And I wanna thank you

For what it's worth
