Did you think the grass would be greener
that the white noise would clear
did you think it'd be easier
what'd she whisper in your ear?
did she tell you that'd she'd do
all the things I couldn't do?
Well I know that I can do them better
Said I wanted inspiration
but I didn't mean like this
I've already got too many traumas I need to process
and resilience my god
its such an awful word
its just a pretty way of sayin that I've been burned
Was it worth it?
when her claws were under your skin
oh and lover could you hear it?
my breaking heart off in the distance
oh, cos it was coming
the time to face up to your sins
oh and lover was it worth it?
to watch the light leaves my eyes
yeah sure, I'll be alright
Do you think about me still?
as the hours go around
cos I think about you still
you've got me crying all over town
I wish that I could shake this
say good riddance and move on
but you're still stuck in my head
like an old familiar song
and resilience my god its such an awful word
its just a pretty way of saying that I've been burned
Was it worth it?
when her claws were under your skin
oh and lover could you hear it?
my breaking heart off in the distance
oh, cos it was coming
the time to face up to your sins
oh and lover was it worth it?
to watch the light leaves my eyes
yeah sure, I'll be alright
Did you think the grass would be greener
that the white noise would clear
did you think it'd be easier
what'd she whisper in your ear?
did she tell you that'd she'd do
all the things I couldn't do?
all the things I, I, I
Was it worth it?
when her claws were under your skin
oh and lover could you hear it?
my breaking heart off in the distance
oh, cos it was coming
the time to face up to your sins
oh and lover was it worth it?
to watch the light leaves my eyes
yeah sure, I'll be alright
