lyrics

You told them the version where you were tired
Where I was difficult and you were very patient
And people I have known for fifteen years
Look at me now like something on a shoe

And I have been so quiet
I have been so unbelievably quiet
And everybody keeps saying how well I'm doing

I hope it was worth it, I hope it was worth it
I hope the story you told is a nice place to live
I hope it was worth it, I hope it was worth it
I hope you choke on how well you come out of it

Your mother messaged me. Did you know that? In May.
She said she knew. She said she'd always known.
And I said thank you and I deleted it
Because I am not going to be the woman who keeps receipts

I hope it was worth it, I hope it was worth it
I hope the story you told is a nice place to live
I hope it was worth it, I hope it was worth it
I hope you choke on how well you come out of it

I am not over it.
I am not going to be over it.
Everybody keeps waiting and I am not going to be.
