Worth

Drowning in their things and I bet it feels like heaven The world is always better when it costs a little more Too bad we don’t have it all Apparently it’s all you’ve ever wanted Your sad when we ask you what’s for dinner I cry for you, I wish you’d feel it Your crying too because you don’t have it But you want me to It would be better for me, if money flowed like milk Better for me if everything’s bigger Too bad I don’t have it all Apparently it’s all I’ll be needing Your sad that my ring won’t weigh more than me I’m strong enough, I wish you knew it Stronger than you, that my faith is into it And I need it too *And I wonder why This could mean Everything What is my life worth to you In gold? Or in cash? Or in things? I’ve got better things to do than roll in… I want a tiny house, and a tiny car And a tiny ring to suit my tiny fingers I want to rest in a tree house, and spend my days with kids I want to run into the ocean when I need saving God’s on my side, I wish He’d tell you I’m rich inside like a pirate’s fortune And, if you can’t trust me than trust the ground It’s never fallen beneath you You see me in a big new house, with two shiny SUV’s It doesn’t matter that they are gas consumer whores A kitchen I could live in with a freezer the size of spain If I ever needed a vacation, I’m sure it would be a nice place to get away You see me married to a doctor, it’s what you wanted for yourself And though you wanted me independent, you’d want him to care for me I’m smart enough, I wish you knew it Life is hard and I’ll get through it Because I want to I want to * why this could mean everything? what is my life worth to you? What is my life worth to you? Don’t pay me with your shiny sparkly verdant paper expressions Don’t love me with your talks of stability and financial independence You’ll see how I’ll pay you back in time with my motivation and my commitment And you’ll continue to tell me I do everything wrong Like being a daughter, a wife and a mom And you’ll probably never see Probably… The true worth of me And I wonder why This could mean Everything What am I worth to you? This is my life And I’ll try And I’ll fail So, what is this worth to me? What is this worth to me? This whole world Has you scared That’s okay I’m more scared than you, anyway And I’ll try And I’ll fail So what is it worth to me? What is it worth to me? Everything. 2005
