Lyrics
------

Not worth askin'
who I'm s'posed to be.
Not worth sayin'
seems I'm free.

No worth reachin'
to anyone at all.
No worth reachin'
out to stop this fall

I'm on my own.
Yeah, on my own.

Not worth being.
I might already be.
I just want someone to reach for me.

Not worth sinkin'.
It's not worth diggin' down.
I've been here before and hate what I've found.

(Chorus)
It's too late, too late
I'm on my own, I'm on my own
I gotta go
G far away.
Yeah it's too late, too late
I'm on my own, I'm on my own
I gotta go
G far away...so far away.

Not worth askin'
Who I'm s'posed to be.
Not worth sayin' something.
Seems I'm free.

Not worth reachin'
to anyone at all.
Not worth reachin' out
I'll stop this fall.

But I like you just the same.
You've got to know somehow
that I'm the one to blame.
We've gone so far along
to end this destiny.
You've got to know somehow..that

Chorus
