Worth It

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
