"For What It's Worth" lyrics

I won't lie
To lay beside
Won't cheat
To eat
Or steal the shoes
From your feet
Won't be wasting time
Yours or mine

You asked me who I am before you cried
And I know why
'Cause I've been inside my mind

I told you your reaction was how it's supposed to be
When I asked my own reflection
It lied back to me

Hmm
You're breathing out a truth I've never heard
Hmm
And saying it in ways that hurt
I wanna thank you
For what it's worth

I told you when
And at what cost
What I'd gained
And what I'd lost

And you know why
That I pretend
And you know where I've been before
And would likely go again

When we went to sleep last night I held you in my arms
And woke up hours later
With a pain inside my heart

Never told my stories in such a brutal light
But unlike the morning papers
It's never black and white

Hmm
You're breathing out a truth I've never heard
Hmm
And saying it in ways that hurt
But I wanna thank you
For what it's worth

When we went to sleep last night I held you in my arms
And woke up hours later with a pain inside my heart

Never told my stories in such a brutal light
But unlike the morning papers
It's never black and white

Hmm
You're breathing out a truth I've never heard
Hmm
And saying it in ways that hurt
But I wanna thank you

And I wanna thank you
For what it's worth
