Worth It
Sam Tsui Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well, my friend, once again it all comes to this
Holding on for too long to something falling through our fingertips
And it gets harder and harder to bear when we're not even sure
We're not sure
If there's anything, anything left that's worth this fighting for

And it breaks my heart, how we're breaking down, oh
But if there's something left, then don't give up
On me now

'Cause if we find a single diamond in the rough
Then it's worth it
Through a thousand tears if there's one drop of love
Then it's worth it
Let me feel what I've got to feel
For a glimpse of something real
I don't care how much it hurts
It is worth it, it's worth it

Once again we are standing at the hardest part
Tripping over each other and trying to stumble
Through the dark
And it's harder and harder to see if it's all a mistake
I know we said "let's be naive"
But now we're open-eyed and wide awake

But I'm holding out that there's hope alive
'Cause if there once was love, then maybe something survived

'Cause if we find a single diamond in the rough
Then it's worth it
Through a thousand tears if there's one drop of love
Then it's worth it
Let me feel what I've got to feel
For a glimpse of something real
I don't care how much it hurts
It is worth it, it's worth it

Ooh, don't walk away to soon
Ooh, there's still something left to lose
Ooh, I'm holding on to you
Hold me too

'Cause if we find a single diamond in the rough
Then it's worth it
Through a thousand tears if there's one drop of love
Then it's worth it
Let me feel what I've got to feel
For a glimpse of something real
I don't care how much it hurts
I swear it's worth it, it's worth it
I don't care how much it hurts, it is worth it





Oh, it's worth it

I love the stars shining in the gloom, just hanging there suspended as Sam sings, like his voice stops time itself 😍

Hope we can get over there sometime! :1

I get so many feelings from this song.
I know a lot of people see it as going through a breakup, wanting the other person to come back.
But for me, it feels like he's talking me out of suicide, and it just means so much to me; love you Sam <3
