"For What It's Worth" lyrics

We used to be full of opportunity
With open eyes and open minds
Until you lost your fight
Is this the life?
Sitting, waiting and watching the time pass you by
We're all the villain in someone's story
Turns out you might be mine

This is a mistake I keep letting myself make
You pull me under
And when I come up for air, you're not there

I tried to understand
I tried to lend a helping hand but
Where are you now, now?
But what good is a hand if you push it away?
Push it away
Is that what you waited for?
Can't you see there's so much more?
I've held onto hope for you for so long
It's time to let go

Tried to break you out
Help you see, that only we keep us bound
We keep us bound
Lost in your game
Controlling me like I'm your favourite character to play
I could never win, repeating the chapters again

This is a mistake I keep letting myself make
You pull me under
And when I come up for air, you're not there

I tried to understand
I tried to lend a helping hand but
Where are you now, now?
But what good is a hand if you push it away?
Push it away
Is that what you waited for?
Can't you see there's so much more?
I've held onto hope for you for so long
It's time to let go

I had to choose my path
Move forward and not look back
Severed my ties from you
Had nothing left to lose

It's time to let go
And now I
Think I'm worth more
I might be better off alone
Now I know who you are
And I'm letting go

I tried to understand
I tried to lend a helping hand but
Where are you now, now?
But what good is a hand if you push it away?
Push it away
Is that what you waited for?
Can't you see there's so much more?
I've held onto hope for you for so long
It's time to let go

It's time to let go
It's time to let go
It's time to let go
