Was It Worth It?

It is expected
An oath by blood to hold the tome
But now I’ve fallen, stripped of my crown
And I stand here all alone
I was a guardian
A prince bound by an ancient creed
Yet I turned away, betrayed it all
For a love I thought I’d need

Let me ask you, oh, my foolish heart
Was it worth the price I’ve paid?
To lose my child, to lose my name
For this love I’ve pursued, betrayed

Was it worth it? The cost, the pain?
Would she ever forgive me again?
I held the stars but dropped the sky
Now I watch my whole world die
Octavia, my darling light
Was my love for him worth your fight?
I gave it all, and now I'm torn apart
Was it worth this shattered heart?

This unspoken longing
The quiet hope to make him see
Led me down a path so dark
I forgot what you mean to me
Oh, my sweet child
I hear your voice, your mourning cry
Did I trade your trust, your love, your light
For dreams that were built on lies?

And now I wonder, as the shadows fall
Was this sacrifice too great?
To save his life, I’ve lost my own
And sealed your lonely fate

Was it worth it? The cost, the pain?
Would she ever forgive me again?
I held the stars but dropped the sky
Now I watch my whole world die
Octavia, my darling light
Was my love for him worth your fight?
I gave it all, and now I'm torn apart
Was it worth this shattered heart?

I see her eyes in my darkest dreams
Filled with hurt, with broken seams
Was I selfish? Did I blind my view?
Did I lose her love for something untrue?

Blitz, you are my fire, my storm, my peace
But this loss will never cease
I gave up all to save your life
But I lost my daughter, my joy, my light

Was it worth it? The cost, the pain?
Would she ever forgive me again?
I held the stars but dropped the sky
Now I watch my whole world die
Octavia, my darling light
Was my love for him worth your fight?
I gave it all, and now I'm torn apart
Was it worth this shattered heart?

And if I could turn back the time
I’d hold you both, my loves, entwined
But now I’ve fallen, torn apart
Wondering if it’s worth this shattered heart
