When I was, oh, just nineteen
Fell in love, I didn't know what it means
To be good to someone else
To build a world bigger than myself

So learned it, yeah, I learned it
And I'd do anything just to have that back

When I was, oh, twenty-two
I had to burn everything I knew
It took me years to understand
Sacrifice makes a better man

So I've earned it, and I earned it
And I'd do anything just to have that back
But you can't go back

It was worth it
These are the lines that you're made of
It was certain
Time that was lost could be made up
If life hits you fast there's no tale backs
But there's a grace in that
It was worth it
These are the lines that you're made of

When I was, oh, twenty-eight
Slowly turned into what I hated
Everything that I put first
Took what I loved and made it worse

Couldn't take it, so I changed it
I'd seen enough to know when it's best to fight
When it's best to let it go

It was worth it
These are the lines that you're made of
It was certain
Time that was lost could be made up
But life hits you fast there's no take backs
But there's a grace in that
It was worth it
These are the lines that you're made of
These are the lines that you're made of

It was worth it
These are the lines that you're made of
It was certain
Time that was lost could be made up
But life hits you fast there's no take backs
But there's a grace in that
It was worth it
These are the lines that you're made of
These are the lines that you're made of
