Worth It
Boys of Fall Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

There′s too much to say tonight
(Dig deep and you'll get) something you may not like
(Does it hurt you like it hurts) me?
We′re not the same in what we mean
I think you have got some nerve
And you think I'm not coming clean?
(We missed the point)
And I've been drowning in the dark
And if I stay here in this moment then this whole thing falls apart

(As it creeps inside, and you just can′t hide)

Was it worth it? Tell me please
′Cause giving up it never seemed so easy to me
If I'm the liar then you′re the fake
And we could both just stay forever and drown in our mistakes

And I know it's such a waste of time
And still we learned nothing

So how do we get past the moment?
You just scream and I can′t focus
And this is it, it's what you get
Too far gone, forever hopeless

(As it creeps inside, and you just can′t hide)

Was it worth it? Tell me please
'Cause giving up it never seemed so easy to me
If I'm the liar then you′re the fake
And we could both just stay forever and drown in our mistakes

Does it end?
If what keeps us here is the guilt we share
It′s what we get (what we get)
Do you know (do you know) that the past few years I don't feel like I know you at all?

(That the past few years I don′t feel like I know you at all)
(And if we run away, then this won't ever change)

I held my hands out begging for you
I watched it all fall apart as your eyes left the room
You took the best of me and buried it too
And nothing you say could change what you do

I held my hands out begging for you
I watched it all fall apart as your eyes left the room
You took the best of me and buried it too
And nothing you say could change what you do

I held my hands out begging for you
I watched it all fall apart as your eyes left the room




You took the best of me and buried it too
And nothing you say could change what you do

Overall Meaning

The song "Worth It" by Boys of Fall is a ballad about a relationship that has reached its breaking point. The song starts with the notion that there is too much to say, and the singer isn't sure if they'll like what they hear. The lyrics then delve into an argument in which the two partners have different meanings for things. The singer accuses the other person of having nerve and not coming clean, which seems to be the source of the contention.


The chorus then asks if the fight was worth it and if giving up was the easier option. The second verse raises the question of whether the guilt they share is what continues to keep them together. The bridge pleads for the partners to find a solution but acknowledges that it may be too late, as they are forever hopeless. The song ends with a powerful repetition of the words, "I held my hands out begging for you, I watched it all fall apart as your eyes left the room, You took the best of me and buried it too, And nothing you say could change what you do."


Overall, the song powerfully emphasizes the struggle of maintaining a relationship that has reached its breaking point.


Line by Line Meaning

There's too much to say tonight
I have a lot to say but it may not be pleasant


Dig deep and you'll get something you may not like
If you look further, you may find something you don't want to see


Does it hurt you like it hurts me?
Are you affected by this as much as I am?


We're not the same in what we mean
We have different intentions and interpretations


I think you have got some nerve
I believe you're being bold or audacious


And you think I'm not coming clean?
You don't trust that I'm telling the truth


We missed the point
We didn't understand the main idea


And I've been drowning in the dark
I've been struggling in a difficult situation


And if I stay here in this moment then this whole thing falls apart
If I don't take action now, everything will crumble


Was it worth it? Tell me please
Do you think it was worth it? Share your thoughts


'Cause giving up it never seemed so easy to me
Letting go of all of this has never felt simpler


If I'm the liar then you're the fake
If I'm dishonest then you're insincere


And we could both just stay forever and drown in our mistakes
We could choose to live with the consequences of our actions


And still we learned nothing
We haven't gained any knowledge from this experience


So how do we get past the moment?
What steps can we take to move forward?


You just scream and I can't focus
Your shouting is distracting me


And this is it, it's what you get
This is the result of your choices


Too far gone, forever hopeless
We're too far into this, and it seems hopeless


Does it end?
Will all of this come to a stop?


If what keeps us here is the guilt we share
If our shared remorse is what's keeping us bound here


It's what we get
This is what we deserve for our actions


Do you know that the past few years I don't feel like I know you at all?
Over time, I feel like I've lost understanding of who you are


I held my hands out begging for you
I was seeking you out and pleading for your attention


I watched it all fall apart as your eyes left the room
I saw everything crumble as you walked away


You took the best of me and buried it too
You kept the best parts of me hidden and unappreciated


And nothing you say could change what you do
Your actions speak louder than your words
