Teddy Swims - Someone Worth Keeping

(Ooh...)
(Yeah...)

I spent a lifetime holding onto smoke
Laughing at the punchline of a cruel joke
I gave away my pieces 'til I was hollowed out
Trying to save a love I should have lived without
I was terrified of silence, scared of sleeping alone
Building houses for people who made me feel unknown

I looked in the mirror with tears in my eyes
Expecting to see a stranger I despise
But through the cracks and the scars on my face
I finally found a little bit of grace

'Cause I'm the one I've been waiting for
I ain't looking for a savior at the door
I spent so much time sweeping up the sleeping
Trying to find a heart that was worth the weeping
It took losing you to finally see...
That I am someone worth keeping.
(Yeah, I'm someone worth keeping!)

I treated myself like a temporary guest
Giving you the diamonds and keeping the rest
I apologized for breathing, for taking up space
While you were running wild all over the place
But the rent is due, baby, and I'm taking back the keys
I'm done living life down on my knees


I look in the mirror with dry eyes today
Watching the ghost of you fade away!


'Cause I'm the one I've been waiting for
I ain't looking for a savior at the door
I spent so much time sweeping up the sleeping
Trying to find a heart that was worth the weeping
It took losing you to finally see...
That I am someone worth keeping.


I'm worth the time (I'm worth the time!)
I'm worth the love (I'm worth the love!)
I'm worth every single star up above!
I ain't a discount item on a dusty shelf
I'm finally falling in love with myself!


'Cause I'm the one I've been waiting for
I ain't looking for a savior at the door
I spent so much time sweeping up the sleeping
Trying to find a heart that was worth the weeping
It took losing you to finally see...
That I am someone worth keeping!
(Oh, I'm worth it!)


(Yeah...)
I am someone worth keeping.
