Worth It - John Louis

She cut her long hair off to her ears

She said, «I'm ready for change.»

I took the long way driving her home

Hoping to buy myself some time beside her

«I need a real man, honey

Make some real plans.»

Echoing in my head

I wanna know what’s dragging her down

I hope to God she doesn’t change her mind

Honey, you’re worth it

Looking for a heartbeat

Caught up in a whirlwind

Baby, I’m nervous

Looking in your wide eyes

You’re one in a million

Honey, you’re worth it

I grew my short hair down to my lips;

The way she likes it

Hoping appearance is enough to keep the wheels turning

Makes me wonder

«Is just my beating heart enough?»

I came out swinging like I’m trying to start a fire

With some branches and some gasoline

Hope like a phoenix in the night

We’ll arise

Lighting up what we could be

‘Cause, honey, you’re worth it

Looking for a heartbeat

Caught up in a whirlwind

Baby, I’m nervous

Looking in your wide eyes

You’re one in a million

Honey, you’re worth it

Honey, you’re worth it

I’m feeling like a smoking gun

You tell me everything is fine

But don’t you try and save face, love

We both know I can read your mind

And with the embers slowly burning down

I’m reminded that love is blind

And in my favorite t-shirt

You kiss me like the first time

Honey, you’re worth it

Looking for a heartbeat

Caught up in a whirlwind

Baby, I’m nervous

Looking in your wide eyes

You’re one in a million

If you can believe me

Struggle through the riptide

Fight my way to your side

Chasing that feeling

Looking in your bright eyes

Make me wanna change;

I wanna be worth it

‘Cause, honey, you’re worth it
