lyrics

Everything’s in the archive
Let these sleeping dogs lie
With rising tides, we live our lives
And we try not to cry because he died

Was it worth it?
Was it an ego-death?
Was it worth it?

You admired my rings in the shop,
And I said thank you, my father picked them out
Saying he’s not here anymore
And I miss him a lot

But you are sad and insecure
But that don’t mean I can be tortured
With subtleties meaningless to everyone else
But me,
But honestly,

Was it worth it?
Was it an ego-death?
Was it worth it?

I understand that you are complicated
And I understand that you don’t understand grieving
And I understand that I can be frustrating
But it was an honour to be nominated

It was an honour to be nominated
I bet it was an honour to be nominated too
