Worth It
Aleksander With/Lene Marlin Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

[Aleksander With]
You say you wanna know what there's about me
You say you wanna know my secrets too
Well, I tried for years to keep some sort of distance
And that is why I kept it all from you

You do things to me that I'm not used to
Usually I'll leave, then you won't know

Before it's way too late and we can't change it
Well this time for the first time
I won't go

If you think we're worth it
We are worth it
I won't fight it
For the first time
I will see where this will end

If you think we're worth it
We are worth it
I won't fight it
I will be here
I'll be here
No more pretend

[Lene Marlin]
You ask for me to trust that you are different
What has been before, well, that is not the same
And the demons of your past you must let go of
If I've had enough and leave, they are to blame

[Both]
If you think we're worth it
We are worth it
I won't fight it
For the first time
I will see where this will end

If you think we're worth it
We are worth it
I won't fight it
I will be here
I'll be here
No more pretend

[Lene Marlin]
You do things to me that I'm not used to
Usually I'll leave, and you won't know

[Aleksander With]
Before it's way too late and we can't change it
Well this time for the first time, I won't go

[Both]
If you think we're worth it
We are worth it
I won't fight it
For the first time
I will see where this will end

If you think we're worth it
We are worth it
I won't fight it
I will be here
I'll be here
No more pretend

If you think we're worth it
We are worth it
I won't fight it
For the first time
I will see where this will end

If you think we're worth it
We are worth it
I won't fight it
I will be here

I'll be here
No more pretend

You say you wanna know what there's about me
You express your desire to understand who I am

You say you wanna know my secrets too
You also want to know the things that I keep hidden from others

Well, I tried for years to keep some sort of distance
I have attempted for a long while to maintain emotional barriers between us

And that is why I kept it all from you
The reason I haven't shared anything personal with you is due to the emotional space I wanted to maintain

You do things to me that I'm not used to
Your actions and words have a profound effect on me that I am unaccustomed to

Usually I'll leave, then you won't know
My typical reaction would be to distance myself from the situation without vocalizing my feelings

Before it's way too late and we can't change it
However, I am aware that there may come a time when it is too late to make amends, so I want to avoid that outcome

Well this time for the first time I won't go
Therefore, unlike before, I am not going to distance myself this time

If you think we're worth it We are worth it I won't fight it For the first time I will see where this will end
If you genuinely believe that our relationship is worth pursuing, then I am willing to see where it leads for the first time and won't resist the idea

You ask for me to trust that you are different
You request me to trust that you are unlike others I have encountered in the past

What has been before, well, that is not the same
You assert that you are different from my past experiences in relationships

And the demons of your past you must let go of
You need to dispose of emotional baggage from the past for us to move forward

If I've had enough and leave, they are to blame
If I cannot stand any longer the impact of your past experiences, the past will be the cause of the relationship's end

No more pretend
I am going to stop pretending that I am not interested in our relationship

If you think we're worth it We are worth it I won't fight it I will be here I'll be here
If you think our relationship is valuable, I will support you and stay by your side through thick and thin
