Worth It All

Auto

[Verse 1] Clock on the wall counts the same hour twice

Morning feels borrowed and grey at the edges

I tell myself this is a season not a sentence

Folding my pride with my lunch in the drawer

[Pre-Chorus] Something hums under the floorboards of my mind

Six a.m. and I'm already tired of the climb

[Chorus] I'm not asking for the whole world to slow

Just an evening where I don't feel like a ghost

I want off this wheel before it spins me whole

I'm not the one who stopped the music

I just quit the song

[Verse 2] Manager says push harder on the third floor

Voice on the phone gets thinner and thin

Colleagues nod but their eyes are all hollow

Everyone's bleeding but nobody will win

[Pre-Chorus] I made a list of reasons to stay on

None of them sound like me anymore

[Chorus] I'm not asking for the whole world to bow

Just a Tuesday where I get to breathe somehow

I want off this wheel before it breaks my spine

I'm not the one who killed the thunder

I just left the line

[Bridge] Somewhere past the grey I hear a different key

A door that never needed keys to open for me

The fear is just a habit wearing my old coat

But I know what my hours cost in gold

[Chorus] Now I'm asking for the world to meet me whole

Same two hands that carried all the load

I choose the quiet over the cornered cry

I'm the one who writes the ending

I'm the one who leaves tonight

[Outro] Mm

Leaving tonight

Mm-hmm

Worth it all

Worth it all
