Am I Worth
Tanaë Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You didn't see I was a child
I wanted so much more from you
But there is nothing in your eyes
And now, you show them all your pride
You know it's not a crime
But anyway I love you this way
Your smile, the only thing I like
When you say without a doubt
That all I did you showed me the way
Am I worth your attention?
Am I worth your reaction?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
Am I worth your devotion?
Am I worth dedication?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
I never saw you at my door
You know that times I was unsure
You were so blind, you couldn't see
That all these years you could have been
The one who shows me how to walk
Who tells me where to go
Who takes my hand when I feel alone
And now, I wanna hear your call
Your voice can heal my soul
You can be so much more
Am I worth your attention?
Am I worth your reaction?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
Am I worth your devotion?
Am I worth dedication?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
Yeah I'll never know what my life could have been
All that I know is something should be left in the past, in the past
Yeah I'll never know what my life could have been
All that I know is that I need you here next to me, next to me
Am I worth your attention?
Am I worth your reaction?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
Am I worth your devotion?
Am I worth dedication?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
Am I worth your attention?
Am I worth your reaction?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
Am I worth your devotion?
Am I worth dedication?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
Am I worth your attention?
Am I worth your reaction?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
Am I worth your devotion?
Am I worth dedication?
Am I worth? Am I worth?
