[Verse 1] Two empty hands when I walked through this life Every dream I chased blew away in the night From the day I loved you I could not foresee Money was the chain that would pull you from me You swore your heart would stay for all our years Through the passing days, through the doubts and the tears Now you’re walking off to a brighter sky Leaving me alone with these sleepless nights [Pre-Chorus] I miss all the nights you were by my side Sharing every fragile meal in our small life How could you turn round, walk away so fast Leave me in the crowd with our shattered past Birds find their way home when the day is done Why are we two souls flying one by one I don’t lose to them, I lose to the gold So I lose your love… [Chorus] Heaven gave me love but it gave no gold So you had to turn and let my hand go You who used to care now you act so cold Leaving me to drown in this quiet glow One day when you live where the bright lights shine Will you ever think of our borrowed time I once loved you more than my beating heart But I lost it all… to the words “no wealth” [Verse 2 - Rap] I don’t hold the cash but I hold this heart Loved you with a truth that would not depart You just saw a doorway to some new life Like the way you left me that silent night I once dreamed about just a little home You and I together, no fear unknown But this life will never match how we dream You chased after glitter and dropped our scene We were building love out of empty hands Now I stand here broke where we used to stand So I hope you smile in that higher place I will keep these scars you can’t see on my face [Bridge] Now I stand alone in the city lights Watching you fade out into deeper night Every word of love that we used to say Broken into dust as you walk away [Chorus] Heaven gave me love but it gave no gold So you had to turn and let my hand go You who used to care now you act so cold Leaving me to drown in this quiet glow One day when you live where the bright lights shine Will you ever think of our borrowed time I once loved you more than my beating heart But I lost it all… to the words “no wealth” [Outro] If I get a life where I rise again Will you find your way back to me by then Or still chase the lights and the shining screens Leaving one who loved you in fading scenes...
