Tell Me I'M Worth It

Tell me that I'm worth it
Make me a promise
Tell me that they're wrong
That the million voices
Screaming to me 
Are liars like I hope
Tell me that I'm worth it
That I'm not as useless as I think
Promise me that 
Where the voices are liars
You're the one true honest thing 
Tell me that I'm worth it
And promise that I'll make it
Show me that it's okay
To open up again, 
To look you in the eye
And know there's no reason to be scared
Tell me that I'm worth it
And make me the promise 
That you'll love me 
Like the demons in my head
Make me the promise 
That you'll stick around
Longer than the rest
Make me the promise
Tell me a truth
Will you stick around
Like the demons hope you would?
