Worthy
Verse: As you held me, I made a pool of water on your satin shirt As you hugged me, you just listened, didn’t dare to utter a word And as I poured out everything from the outskirts of my heart I felt your eyes say “Honey, you’ve finally let down your guard” Pre-chorus I guess I never understood before that Wednesday night How much you could love Chorus: You weren’t worthy of my love, I never thought you knew where I was coming from You’ve never been in the cages I’ve been, you’ve never felt the rejection I’ve felt But as your hand stroked up and down my back, as you tried to make me forget I realized you know who I am, you know what I need, and you’ve seen what I’ve seen Verse: When you asked “what’s wrong?”, I realized you heard the cries inside before they showed themselves All of a sudden, my heart opened up and let out its lava It’s like you took the cap off of the bottle of my sorrow The next night you said “I’ll be here every tomorrow” Pre-chorus: Before that Wednesday night, I guess I was blind To how much you could see in me You weren’t worthy of my love, I never thought you knew where I was coming from You’ve never been in the cages I’ve been, you’ve never felt the rejection I’ve felt But as your hand stroked up and down my back, as you tried to make me forget I realized you know who I am, you know what I need, and you’ve seen what I’ve seen Bridge: And I can’t believe it took me that long to realize All this time, you were right in front of my eyes If I’d just asked you’d take my hand and follow me Chorus: You weren’t worthy of my love, I never thought you knew where I was coming from You’ve never been in the cages I’ve been, you’ve never felt the rejection I’ve felt But as your hand stroked up and down my back, as you tried to make me forget I realized you know who I am, you know what I need, and you’ve seen what I’ve seen Oh, you’ve seen what I’ve seen You can empathize, I can see your eyes say, “I love you.” © 2013 Sarahthirk |
