Worth It
Mourning Lilith Lyrics

With every new tear
With every new tear that falls from your eye

Shame fills your eyes
You feel ashamed and embarrassed

You wish your heart to stop beating
You feel so bad that you wish your heart would stop

But don't realize
You don't realize that there's another way

There's nothing to be ashamed of
There's nothing to be embarrassed about

There's nothing left to hide
There's nothing left to cover up or keep secret

You were only trying to rid
You were only trying to get rid of

The darkness that's inside
The sadness that you feel inside

I'm looming on the outside
I'm standing on the outside looking in

As your light fades
As your energy and spirit fade

If you don't look inside
If you don't look at your own feelings and thoughts

You're going to split your fucking veins
You might hurt yourself badly

I stand before you as a friend and your way out
I'm here to help you and be your escape from what you're going through

All you have to do is put the bottle down
All you have to do is stop drinking or doing what you're doing

Just tell me when you will finally learn
Just tell me when you'll finally listen to my advice

Cuz I've been here from the start and I've watched your world burn
I've been around since the beginning and I've seen how badly things have gone for you

Surrounded by vices I dance back and forth
I'm surrounded by bad things that I can't escape

Between dreams and reality
Between my hopes and my actual life

Battling this beating heart
Struggling with my feelings and emotions

Take a step back and see what you have done
Take a break and look at your life so far

Taking your own life
Killing yourself

Is a battle that shouldn't be won
Is something that should never happen

You have always had two strikes against you
You've always had two bad things working against you

But you've got the strength
But you've got the power and will

The strength of a tiger
The bravery and courage of a tiger

And these cuts are your stripes
And the scars you have are the evidence of what you've been through

Count your stripes
Be proud of your scars and what they represent

Every regret comes from a mistake you have made
Every time you regret something it's because you did something wrong

It rests on my mind
It bothers me and I think about it a lot

So take my hand and leave the past behind
Take my help and forget about the things that are holding you back

They may fade
The memories may get weaker over time

But they won't ever disappear
But they'll never go away completely

You're worth every burnt fucking letter
You're worth every bit of struggle and pain

And every night I shed a tear
And every night I cry for you and your situation

So next time you want to paint with razors use my skin
Next time you want to hurt yourself, let me take the pain instead

I believed that the real me was trying to escape my body
I used to think that my true self was trying to leave my body through self-harm

and a razor was its only way out
And that cutting myself was the only way to let it out

Worth it
It's worth it to get better and overcome these struggles

No matter who tells you
No matter what anyone else says

How worthless you are
How little you're worth

Listen when I say you're better than what you think you are
Believe me when I say you're worth more than you give yourself credit for
