Worth the Trouble

[Verse 1] You say, "don't bother" Like you're taking out the trash Laugh it off, look down Hide the crack inside the glass You change the subject Every time you start to shake Act like you're the problem Till the room begins to break [Chorus] Who told you you’re not worth the trouble? Who taught you you come second place? I see the way you fold in on yourself Like you're trying to erase your face If loving you feels heavy I'll carry every pound of this You say you're not worth the trouble But you're all the things they missed [Verse 2] You keep a list Of every time you think you failed Dog-eared pages From a book that always guilt-trails But I’ve seen you laughing With your guard dropped in your lap There’s a universe of softness In the places you attack [Chorus] Who told you you’re not worth the trouble? Who turned every scar into a crime? I see the way you apologize for breathing Every single time If loving you feels heavy Then let it press on me instead You say you're not worth the trouble But you live rent-free in my head [Bridge] What if all that “too much” Was exactly what I need? What if all that “not enough” Was the finest part of you to me? (yeah) What if every broken piece Was just light sneaking through? Tell me, honestly Who taught you to hate you? [Chorus] Who told you you’re not worth the trouble? Let me argue with that ghost I’ll stay here through the silence and the spiral When you need someone the most If loving you feels heavy Then let it hurt, let it hit You say you're not worth the trouble But you’re the reason I don’t quit
