It started out as a single song,
A broken melody with no real substance.
It wasn't good and my voice wasn't strong.
Yet, somehow I saw it stretch the distance.
It covered the space between us
As it tore us up inside.
It brought us together
Without our permission.
We could not hide.
They asked, was it worth it
To see our stars fall from the sky?
How'd we learn to cope?
We fell because we couldn't fly.
We knew the possibility
That we'd succumb to gravity.
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
I took a leap. You took a dive.
Both of us knew where we were going.
We hit the ground. We were still alive,
Even if all of our scars were showing.
We closed the distance between us
As the pain tore us up inside.
'Cause we were together
And that's all that mattered.
We would not hide.
They asked, was it worth it
To see our stars fall from the sky?
How'd we learn to cope?
We fell because we couldn't fly.
We knew the possibility
That we'd succumb to gravity.
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
They don't know why we would
Choose to lose everything.
They can't see that what we
Have is worth twice as much.
How can they? How can they act
Like they know it all
Just to make us feel like
We only have half as much?
They asked, was it worth it
To see our stars fall from the sky?
How'd we learn to cope?
We fell because we couldn't fly.
We knew the possibility
That we'd succumb to gravity.
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
It was worth it.
