For What It's Worth

For what it's worth
I cried for you
I cried for all the things
You do not
Cannot see
I cried because you're lost
Lost within yourself
And you don't even know it
You see a day
As just another day
Same as the one before
And surely the one after
Tomorrow holds no wonder
Today holds no joy
And yesterday is simply
Forgotten
You always know what you want
But, you're never really sure
And the risk is always worth it
Just as long as you
Don't get caught
I cried so many tears
Because you never seemed understand
How remarkable
You are
I doubt you'll ever know
All that you've been
All that you are
To me
I cried, too
Because I lost you
A victim of yourself
I cried because you're gone
And I think that
You'll be far away
Forever
Even if you do come back
For what it's worth
I cried for you
I cried because I love you...
For what it's worth...
