I'M Worth It
My friendship might take effort
I am high maintenance too
But if you face a problem
I’m the one who’ll stand by you
Time investment’s an issue
My love needs nurture to grow
But if you’re ever alone
You can count on me, you know
Some people don’t like “intense”
They just want to keep things light
But when they struggle with grief
I’m the one they call at night
The truth is life has bad times
That can make the strongest weak
It is in these thunderstorms
Words of comfort I will speak
So, yes…you may not be sure
If I deserve time of day
But when you want someone near
I’m the one you’ll beg to stay.
