[Bass riff] [Boot stomp] I learned young You don't save everything Some doors ought to close Some bells shouldn't ring Some bridges burn cleaner Than dragging them home Some people are leaving You let 'em go [Acoustic answers] But every now and then Something gets in your blood Not because it's easy Not because it's good Not because some fortune Said this must be true Sometimes something matters Because it matters To you [Chorus] Some things are worth fighting for Worth swallowing pride Worth one honest conversation With nowhere left to hide Worth saying I was wrong Worth hearing you were too Worth finding out what's left here Before we call it through Some things you let go Some things You fight for [Fiddle hook] I know you need your freedom I know I need mine Neither one was made For somebody else's line I don't want a prisoner Don't want to be one too If I have to hold you here Then I don't really Have you But freedom ain't pretending Something didn't leave a scar And love ain't always walking Just because the walk is hard Sometimes love is standing there With nothing left to prove Saying Here's the truth I carry What you do with it Is you [Chorus] Some things are worth fighting for Worth swallowing pride Worth one honest conversation With nowhere left to hide Worth saying I still love you Without asking you to choose Worth finding out what's real here With everything to lose Some things you let go Some things You fight for [Duduk enters] [Drums soften] I've been thinking about eighty Funny number I know Two old souls with silver hair And fifty years to show And I can live with almost anything That life decides to do But I don't want some old man Still wondering Did she know? [Silence] Did she know I would've listened? Did she know I'd learned to bend? Did she know I never needed To possess her To be her friend? Did she know The door stayed unlocked Not waiting Just unlocked? [Duduk] Did she know? [Band returns] [Bridge] So here it is No stars No cards No signs above No universe gets blamed tonight For what two people call love No prophecy No destiny No thread I get to pull Just one man saying You mattered then You matter still And if there's something here That's broken I'll bring my hands And bring my tools But I can't fix your half without you And I won't fucking try to [Stop] That's the difference I finally learned [Full band] [Final Chorus] Some things are worth fighting for Worth swallowing pride Worth one honest conversation With nowhere left to hide Worth saying I forgive you Worth saying forgive me too Worth sitting in the wreckage Long enough to find what's true Some things are worth fighting for Without fighting over you Worth opening my hands enough To let your answer through And if your answer isn't me I'll hurt But I'll survive Because fighting for a love Ain't forcing it To stay alive [Half-time] Some things you let go Some things you fight for Some things you fight beside Some things you fight through [Music strips to bass and acoustic] And some things You just tell the truth about Then leave the rest To two [Duduk answers] [Quiet] You're worth fighting for But you're still free [Single bass note] [End]
