Lyrics
It Wasn't Worth It
Confused at an early age by your wild and weary ways
Missed out on the finer things in life day after day
The road the pills the alcohol were fuel from on the shelf
The most important part you chose to let fend for itself
Motel rooms across the land sadly became your home
One night stands in barrooms thrown at you just like a bone
You rarely had a decent meal never cared to settle down
Family life was not for you, you could not stick around
It wasn't worth it
No-one really cared if the song was perfect
Your friends just sat and stared
At the ramblin' of a lunatic wastin' by the way
It really wasn't worth it all the things you had to say
The day your living soul left earth and your loved ones all alone
The stage was set for all your friends to put you on a throne
Heaven may not hold a place for your thoughts to rest on
You once said the in between would be your final home
It wasn't worth it
No-one really cared if the song was perfect
Your friends just sat and stared
The song you only dreamed about you could not understand
That's why you were never able to put paper to the pen
It wasn't worth it
No-one really cared if the song was perfect
Your friends just sat and stared
At the ramblin' of a lunatic wastin' by the way
It really wasn't worth it all the things you had to say
Tell me was it really worth it when your life just slipped away.
