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.
