Was It Worth It? - Original Song || Abby Lyons

Watch my friend Ilene’s video! https://youtu.be/ZPAiyV8e7j8
Also there’s a letter and the lyrics down below for you all!

Ah! I had so much fun writing this song this week!! Sometimes it’s hard for me to set aside time and actually write music, especially since I’m so focused on posting videos here and Instagram so much. That’s why I’m so excited that Ilene and I are going to be posting songs every month!! That means I’ll have at least twelve new songs by this time next year! Ah! So excited!! :D

Also if you want to download this song you can do so on patreon for $1 (as well as my other original songs, and the ones to come!) https://www.patreon.com/abbylyons

Shoutout and a big thank you to BJ, who became a patron last week!! I’m seriously so grateful for the support. :)

ALSO if you’ve read this far, I’ll tell you a secret… I’m going to announce a ukulele giveaway next Sunday!! You will have the chance to win a uke! And it’s a really pretty forest green uke! (I have already fallen in love with it and want to keep it for myself but I PROMISE I’ll still give it away, haha!)

Have a lovely Sunday!!

-Abby

Aaaaaand roll the credits!

LYRICS
You’ve had it all figured out since you were seventeen
That’s when you packed up your bag and you ran after your dream
You saw the Hollywood sign, the Angel City
They said to do what you loved and you’d be happy

And now you’re making your way but taking orders
You’re washing dishes all day and counting quarters
It’s not a glamorous life but take it one step at a time
You try not to cry

Do you think that things will ever get better?
Do you think you’ll be a waitress forever?
And do you dream someday you’ll get out of this place
And that the struggle will be worth it

Do you dream of gowns and walking red carpets
But for now get by with dresses from target
And do you dream some night you’ll see your name up in lights
And do you think you’ll deserve it?

And now it’s been a few years, you’re getting desperate
You send in audition tapes, they go unanswered
Your time is slipping away, you’re getting older each day
You’d do anything

‘Cause you think that things will never get better
And you’re afraid you’ll be a waitress forever
And so you change your name, put a smile on your face
Because it has to be worth it

Oh you cut your hair and buy some new clothes
Hang with a different crowd and get a new nose
Go down the rabbit hole, sell a bit of your soul
Oh do you think they deserve it?

And the sad thing is it works
You get it all even though it hurts
And then you’re finally a star
And everyone loves you
Or at least who they think you are

Do you think that things will ever get better?
When you look in the mirror you look so put together
But you don’t recognize the girl behind the eyes
Oh do you think it was worth it?

Oh the cameras flash and they’re screaming your name
But you can’t shake the feeling that you’ve lost this game
So many blinding lights and you still cry at night
Oh do you think you deserve it?

Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
Was it worth it?
Ohhhh….
