[Instrumental Intro] [A light, melancholic acoustic guitar melody, joined by soft percussion tapping like falling coins]. [Verse 1] Tossed a penny in the fountain, watched it sink, Guess I’m running out of wishes to believe. Counting change like it’s worth something, But it won’t buy back what you took from me. [Pre-Chorus] Flipping heads or tails, but the odds don’t change, No matter what, I lose the same. Hoping for luck that never lands, Just slipping through my hands. [Chorus] Every penny hits the ground, Ringing like a warning sound. All my hopes just rolling away, Scattered dreams I couldn’t save. Toss ‘em in, watch ‘em spin, But I know I won’t win. Just a pocket full of could’ve-beens. [Verse 2] You always swore you’d pay me back in time, But empty words don’t cover debts like mine. Left me counting every letdown, Still coming up short somehow. [Pre-Chorus] Flipping heads or tails, but the odds don’t change, No matter what, I lose the same. Hoping for luck that never lands, Just slipping through my hands. [Chorus] Every penny hits the ground, Ringing like a warning sound. All my hopes just rolling away, Scattered dreams I couldn’t save. Toss ‘em in, watch ‘em spin, But I know I won’t win. Just a pocket full of could’ve-beens. [Bridge] Maybe I should stop making bets, Stop gambling on what’s never left. Some things you can’t buy back, And I can’t afford the past. [Chorus] Every penny hits the ground, Ringing like a warning sound. All my hopes just rolling away, Scattered dreams I couldn’t save. Toss ‘em in, watch ‘em spin, But I know I won’t win. Just a pocket full of could’ve-beens. [Outro] Left a coin on the sidewalk, walked away, Someone else can make a wish today. [Fade out]
