Lyrics

I mistakenly submitted the lyrics for a different song titled "You Never Know". Please cancel those lyrics and use these new lyrics which are the correct lyrics for this song titled "That's All We're Really Worth".
That’s All We’re Really Worth
Everybody’s leaving but you don’t seem to care
like you never even noticed that they were ever there
here’s a dirty little secret nobody wants to know
If you’re getting tired of living then it might be time to go
Everybody’s busy playing on their phone
and they think if they don’t lose it they’ll never be alone
there’s so many little moments and things you’ll never do
if you just keep on pretending that it’s not controlling you
Things might work out oh-oh I know it’s true
I’ve been waiting all these years for you
I don’t do nothing I don’t go nowhere new
I just keep waiting here for you
Hold on it’s hard I know
when hope is gone you just want to let go
don’t cry we live and die
and everybody knows that’s just the way it goes
Everybody loved you way back then
when you were young and beautiful
oh-oh-oh everybody wanted to be your friend
when everything was possible
Everybody wants it it won’t be long you’ll see
‘till they bottle up a rainbow and sell it on T.V.
If you’re always wanting something you might have to concede
you can get all that you wanted but it’s never what you need
Everybody’s in it despite what you believe
It’s impossible to win it we’re all destined to leave
All the good and bad that we do that’s all we’re really worth
did you try to make things better when you were here on earth
Things might work out oh-oh I know it’s true
I’ve been waiting all these years for you
I don’t do nothing I don’t go nowhere new
I just keep waiting here for you
Hold on it’s hard I know
when hope is gone you just want to let go
don’t cry we live and die
and everybody knows that’s just the way it goes
All these years where did they go
where are the dreams that we had for a new tomorrow
they got left behind in yesterday
and those years just slipped away
