For What It’s Worth Lyrics
In my defence, all my intentions were good
And heaven knows a place somewhere for the misunderstood
You know I'd give you blood, if it'd be enough
Devil's on my doorstep since the day I was born
It's hard to find a sunset in the eye of a storm
But I'm a dreamer by design and I know in time, we'll put this behind
For what it's worth, I'm sorry for the hurt
I'll be the first to say, I made my own mistakes
For what it's worth, I know it's just a word and words betray
Sometimes we lose our way
For what it's worth
Behind the lens is a poison picture you paint
And let's not pretend you were ever searching for saints
Cause I've been crucified for just being alive
Somewhere in the crossfire of this whispering war
Seems that I've forgot just what I was fighting for
But underneath my skin there's a fire within, still burning
For what it's worth, I'm sorry for the hurt
I'll be the first to say, I made my own mistakes
For what it's worth, I know it's just a word and words betray
Sometimes we lose our way
For what it's worth
The first bird to fly gets all the arrows
Let's leave the past behind with all our sorrows
I'll build a bridge between us and I'll swallow my pride
For what it's worth, I'm sorry for the hurt
I'll be the first to say, I made my own mistakes
For what it's worth, I know it's just a word and words betray
Sometimes we lose our way
For what it's worth
And heaven knows a place somewhere for the misunderstood
You know I'd give you blood, if it'd be enough
It's hard to find a sunset in the eye of a storm
But I'm a dreamer by design and I know in time, we'll put this behind
I'll be the first to say, I made my own mistakes
For what it's worth, I know it's just a word and words betray
Sometimes we lose our way
And let's not pretend you were ever searching for saints
Cause I've been crucified for just being alive
Seems that I've forgot just what I was fighting for
But underneath my skin there's a fire within, still burning
I'll be the first to say, I made my own mistakes
For what it's worth, I know it's just a word and words betray
Sometimes we lose our way
Let's leave the past behind with all our sorrows
I'll build a bridge between us and I'll swallow my pride
I'll be the first to say, I made my own mistakes
For what it's worth, I know it's just a word and words betray
Sometimes we lose our way

A lean towards the regret from the public spat between Liam and Noel...
"Behind the lens is a poison picture you paint and let's not pretend you were ever searching for saints" - Liam's interpretation that Noel when being filmed and quizzed on the oasis break up portrayed Liam as the crazy destructive, seeking media attention one but when Oasis were starting out that's what they both wanted, only now Noel looks down on this early approach.
"The first bird to fly gets all the arrows" - a reference to Liam's band Beady Eye that were formed soon after the break up of oasis and got shot down from all angles, where Noel got an easier ride after taking time and not rushing into a new band and direction.
"Somewhere in the crossfire of this whispering war Seems that I forgot just what I was fighting for But underneath my skin there's a fire within Still burning" - LIam looking back with tinged regret he was fighting his brother but his fire under his skin will be there regardless who is confrontation is with.
it's about Noel.Their relationship has to be the underlining meaning. Say what you want, for what it's worth
I think the meaning of this song is relatively simple. The song is about his brother, Noel, and that he wants to put the past behind him and move on from the feud that's gone on since the break-up of Oasis.
Liam Gallagher has never ruled out an Oasis reunion and Noel has.
"I'll build a bridge between us and I'll swallow my pride" is a perfect example. Liam has been known for chatting constant shit about his brother and he is ready to take all of it back and doesn't care about the consequences of the inevitable when the media ask him about the situation, because his relationship with Noel means much more to him than his own pride
