Standing at the edge alone.
Wondering where the time has gone, and where the light will go.
Staring at the endless sky.
Watching seasons come and go, and faces pass me by.
And I don’t know
How to carry on that you’ve gone away
And I don’t know
How to say….
Chorus:
Is it worth it?
When dark returns and hope is wearing thin
Is it worth it?
Fighting for a world that you’re not in.
Memories refuse to fade
Leaving me nowhere to hide; no refuge from the pain.
And I’ve heard it said a thousand times…
“Let it go, leave the past behind, and get on with your life”
But I don’t know
How they just think I can forget and walk away….
And I don’t know
If I should stay....
Chorus
You've gone away....
(Spoken)
Is it worth it?
Living in this world without you, I mean
I feel so lost….
I’m in here every day, just…hoping that you’ll open your eyes….
And come back to us….
…Come back to me….
Sometimes, I don’t know if I can go on
But then I remember….
You lived every day like it was your last.
You wouldn’t want me to be this way
You’d want me to fight on!
To keep going…
So that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.
For you!
Yes, it’s worth it
Living what will be, not what has been
Yes, you’re worth it
Fighting for the day that we will win.
Yes it’s worth it
Cast the darkness out and let light in.
Yes it’s worth it.
Fighting til the day we meet again.
We meet again...
