Counting Pennies

Counting pennies, watching them fall,

Every dollar spent, feeling it all.

Hoping for a brighter day,

But bills keep coming, taking my way.

You splurge like there's no tomorrow,

While I’m drowning deep in sorrow.

I work so hard to make it through,

But every choice pulls me down like glue.

Your shopping spree leaves me on the edge,

In this financial ledge.

You spend like the world is free,

Can’t save a dollar, what about me?

Living in debt, oh can't you see?

Your careless ways are killing me.

The bills keep piling, can’t catch a breath,

Feels like I’m dancing with financial death.

I dream of saving for a rainy day,

But hold on to dreams that fade away.

I'm tired of this endless race,

Wishing we could find a better place.

Your wild spending pulls me apart,

Can’t you feel it breaking my heart?

You spend like the world is free,

Can’t save a dollar, what about me?

Living in debt, oh can't you see?

Your careless ways are killing me.

We could grow, we could thrive,

But you treat us like we're living a lie.

Holding on to dreams so tight,

While we’re losing every fight.

So let’s sit down, let’s talk it through,

Find a way to start anew.

Together we can break this chain,

Turn our fortunes from this pain.
