Lyrics
Not Worth It
In the bathroom of that fancy restaurant
She slams herself into oblivion
In a chase with a dragon she has never caught
Now she doesn’t know where to run
She is sleepwalking although she is awake
She claims to be alright
Offering virtue for just anyone to take
Just to make it through another night

You could say you been there but it doesn’t have to be that way
You could say you’ve done that but maybe maybe maybe maybe if
You can get the life back That you had sometime before haze
But it’s up to you, what’ cha gonna’ do?

It isn’t worth the hurt, it’s not worth the pain
Not even worth the time, that you cannot regain
It isn’t worth your life, it’s not worth the love
Not worth the sacrifice of all that you've been dreaming of
It’s not worth it, no not worth it, it ain’t worth it.

His expensive Buckhead condominium
Is his fortress from the weather
Cannot recollect when last he saw the sun
He claims to be diabetic but I know better
He awakened to find that she had left a note that said
She couldn’t make it, couldn’t fake it, couldn’t take it no more no more
Seven lonely and unhappy years she spent without his former self
Even though him she still adored

You could say you been there but it doesn’t have to be that way
You could say you’ve done that but maybe maybe maybe maybe if
You can get the life back That you had sometime before haze
But it’s up to you, what’ ‘ya gonna’ do?

It isn’t worth the hurt, it’s not worth the pain
Not even worth the time, that you cannot regain
It isn’t worth your life, it’s not worth the love
Not worth the sacrifice of all that you've been dreaming of

What about the ones you leave behind
When you finally give it up, surrender your heart and your mind
It’s not worth it, it’s not worth it
It’s not worth the hurt it’s not worth the pain
It’s not worth the time that you can never ever ever regain
