Lyrics
Daylight / Knowing I'm not alone
White lies / Adding up on their own
You said / You would stand on my side
Regret / It's too late to deny
All the back and forth and yes and no
All the right and wrong and high and low
And you set me up to let me down
But it all comes back around
What are you worth now?
What are you waiting for?
When every battlefield you run from generates a war
What are you chasing?
What do you think you deserve?
Cause you will never have a thing unless you've got your worth
What are you worth?
Last straw / As the sky turns to red
Free fall / While I fight to forget
All the back and forth and yes and no
All the right and wrong and high and low
And you set me up to let me down
But it all comes back around
What are you worth now?
What are you waiting for?
When every battlefield you run from generates a war
What are you chasing?
What do you think you deserve?
Cause you will never have a thing unless you've got your worth
What are you worth?
What are you worth?
All the back and forth and yes and no
All the right and wrong and high and low
And you set me up to let me down
But it all comes back around
What are you worth now?
What are you waiting for?
When every battlefield you run from generates a war
What are you chasing?
What do you think you deserve?
Cause you will never have a thing unless you've got your worth
What are you worth?
What are you worth?
What are you worth?
What are you worth?
What are you worth?
