Was it Worth It?

Was it worth it?

Tearing me down to make you better?

Taking me piece by piece

Till there was nothing left.

Was it worth it?

Though you never raised a hand

You left me bloody on the ground

From words that made me feel unwanted.

Was it worth it?

Leaving me each night crying.

Believing I had done you wrong

While you gave me silence

And laid with her.

You held me under

Till I couldn't breath any longer.

The only breath offered

Came from your lungs alone.

Forced to rely on you

To live the life I now knew.

Was it worth it?

Was it

Was it

Was it worth it?

Was it worth it?

When you swallowed all those pills.

Told me you never loved me

The way you did her.

Was it worth it?

Begging me to come home,

Then slapping me around some more?

You separated me from friends

You separated family

You lied to me

You lied to them.

Then when it came time for justice

You convinced the world.

Was it worth it?

To pretend you didn't hurt me?

To blame me for your problems

To blame me for your want to leave this earth.

You held me under

Till I couldn't breath any longer.

The only breath offered

Came from your lungs alone.

Forced to rely on you

To live the life I now knew.

Was it worth it?

Was it

Was it

Was it worth it?

And now I scream

I cry every night

My relationships shattered

My life torn to pieces

Had to learn to survive.

So was it worth it?
