It Was Worth It

One step forwards, two steps back
Trying to turn around and get back on track
Once upon a time, I would fall for your lies
I've grown up, I won't fall for them twice

Hopeful girl in a big, big city
You take my hand, tell me I'm pretty
As I look back I can see the highlights
Then I realise is was all for the spotlight
For the spotlight

I will plague your mind like the black death
Take my time like a year on Venus
I will hate you like a maths test
Take it home 'cause finders keepers

All that pain and all that hurting
But you always made it perfect
And for four years it was worth it
I got four years and it was worth it
It took a long time to get it working
And I think that we're still learning
But for four years it was worth it
I got four years and it was worth it
It was worth it

No mistakes and no regrets
You're the best person I ever met
Candlelight and evening walks
I try to forget the way you talked
You talked

I will plague your mind like the black death
Take my time like a year on Venus
I will hate you like a maths test
Take it home 'cause finders keepers

All that pain and all that hurting
But you always made it perfect
And for four years it was worth it
I got four years and it was worth it
It took a long time to get it working
And I think that we're still learning
But for four years it was worth it
I got four years and it was worth it
It was worth it

I try to forget your name
Then I realise, you did it all for the fame
And a voice inside says, "It'll be okay"
It'll be okay
I try to forget your name
Then I realise, you did it all for the fame
And a voice inside says, "It'll be okay"
It'll be okay

All that pain and all that hurting
But you always made it perfect
And for four years it was worth it
I got four years and it was worth it
It took a long time to get it working
And I think that we're still learning
But for four years it was worth it
I got four years and it was worth it
It was worth it
