Worth It

Why was i not worth it.
Why wasn't I worth your time
Why wasn't i worth your attention
Why wasn't I worth half what I gave you

I don't get it
I tried so hard to forget
I tried to erase you 
But all that did was make your mark on me worse
I tried to forget
The love I gave
The bond we made 
Every little moment I once cherished so much
I tried.
But I'm not sure if I want you or if I want answers 
Why.wasnt.I.worth it
I was there whenever you called
Without stall, would never let you fall,
I was there
I was there when they said you shouldn't
And you thought you couldn't 
I was there....
When you couldn't bear it all
And all your problems stood ten feet tall 
I was the one who brought them down to size
So how am i so disposable.
How can you take me and break me and say it was my fault
You could've tried 
I walked away because i had to 
The worst part is
You didnt even try to make me stay so
A part of me wanted you to stop me
I wanted you to make it all ok 
You can say it was begging for attention 
But **** I think i deserve it
If only you thought the same
