Worth More Than You Know

[Verse 1]
I know some nights
You hate this room
Walls feel small
Thoughts too loud
Scrolling through
Til your eyes burn
Thinking
“Would anyone
Miss me now?”
[Pre-Chorus]
But there’s a laugh you have
That cracks the air
There’s a chair that stays
Forever spare
There are photos with
Your face half-cut
‘Cause you took them all
You don’t see that
[Chorus]
You are worth more than you know
More than any hurt can show
If you walked out of this world
You would leave a thousand holes
Hold on
Don’t let go
Please stay
Please stay close
You are worth more than you know
More than you know
[Verse 2]
Someone keeps
Their phone on loud
“Text me late
If you spin out”
Someone buys
Your favorite drink
Leaves it there
On the kitchen sink
[Pre-Chorus]
There’s a dog that waits
For your key to turn
There’s a plant that leans
Where the curtains burn
There’s a quiet kid
Who watched you stay
Thinks
“If they can fight
I can
One day”
[Chorus]
You are worth more than you know
More than any hurt can show
If you walked out of this world
You would leave a thousand holes
Hold on
Don’t let go
Please stay
Please stay close
You are worth more than you know
More than you know
[Bridge]
You don’t have to fix this all tonight (you don’t)
You don’t have to fake that you’re alright
Just breathe in once
Then once again
Stay for this minute
Stay for a friend (hey)
[Chorus]
You are worth more than you know
More than any hurt can show
If you walked out of this world
You would leave a thousand holes
Hold on
Don’t let go
Please stay
Please stay close
You are worth more than you know
More than you’ll know

Warm acoustic pop with subtle indie edge, male or female vocals. Intimate fingerpicked guitar in the verses, heartbeat kick and airy pads blooming in the chorus. Melody starts hushed and close, rises into an anthemic, shout-along hook with stacked harmonies and soft gang vocals on key lines. Final chorus adds tambourine and a high counter-melody for a cathartic, hopeful lift.
