Well I don't know why I was dreaming about you
But I do know that I was dancing without you
Then you smiled, and I was lost
You fall in love, why count the cost?
All I gave to you
All you made me do
I react when I hear people ask
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
If I'd had my way this would have happened much sooner
But until that day it was only a rumour
All at once you changed my life
And led me in to paradise
Where I had to do
What I wanted to
I react when I hear people ask
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
I reserve the right to live
My life this way, and I don't give
A damn when I hear people say
I'll pay the price that others pay
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
All I gave to you
All you made me do
I react when I hear people ask
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
And I reserve (what?)
The right to live (where?)
My life this way (how?)
I couldn't give
A damn when I (what?)
Hear people say (who?)
I'll pay the price
That others pay
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth giving more
And it's worth it
I don't know why
I never thought I'd fall in love
I don't know why
I don't know why
I never thought I'd fall in love
I don't know why
I don't know why
But I do know that I was dancing without you
Then you smiled, and I was lost
You fall in love, why count the cost?
All I gave to you
All you made me do
I react when I hear people ask
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
If I'd had my way this would have happened much sooner
But until that day it was only a rumour
All at once you changed my life
And led me in to paradise
Where I had to do
What I wanted to
I react when I hear people ask
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
I reserve the right to live
My life this way, and I don't give
A damn when I hear people say
I'll pay the price that others pay
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
All I gave to you
All you made me do
I react when I hear people ask
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth living for
Was it worth it?
Yes it's worth giving more
And I reserve (what?)
The right to live (where?)

'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth living for
'Cause it's worth it
Yes it's worth giving more
And it's worth it
I don't know why
I never thought I'd fall in love
I don't know why
I don't know why
I never thought I'd fall in love
I don't know why
I don't know why

About loving someone even if other people don't understand why you love them. Telling people that it's worth all the sacrifices that come with it because you love this person.
I feel this song is about "forbidden love" so to speak and the backlash you have to face for it from the society which presents this question - "Was it worth it?". The author made the decision to come out in open about it (and confirm the rumour) and shares how liberating that was, and hence - "And led me in to paradise".."I wish it would have happened much sooner".
Towards the end the disclosure that he never thought he would fall in love is interesting. Whether it was the fear or whether he misjudged his own ability to provide love.
