For What It's Worth

A deep breath for comfort,
keep breathing, okay?
Smile for the world,
close your eyes to the day.

Cling to everything, always,
no room for your tears.
Keep them in your pocket
through these long, lonely years.

Colors fade into gray,
keep your eyes to the sun.
a shadow of empty,
Steal the light, and just run.

One tear for bravery,
all the rest for regret.
A shock to find someone
you'll never forget.

Hold my hand through the storm,
As it tears you apart.
Keep your shaking faith steady
keep the strongest your heart.

For what it's worth, we will try,
i used to know you so well.
There is doubt in your eyes
that only you can expell.

That day will come,
all too soon, you will see.
For what it's worth,
it's you and me.
