Currency in a bankrupt world · letra

Verse 1

She's alright, she lies and tells herself Through every artificial smile Since he walked, and left her with their unborn child Denial

Verse 2

Stop the world Life's a rip-off and she's more than paid the price Looks around at what's left of her burning paradise But don't you know

Chorus

When hope is gone Looking for a reason just to carry on To lay that burden down you've carried way too long and Holding on When the dream's foreclosed and life is overdrawn There's currency left in this bankrupt world after all

Lead break: Val

Verse 3

Take a bow He says "I've blown it all And burned my whole world to the ground Checking out 'Cause no one will miss me now" Lost it all Thinks he defaulted on this life Beyond the pale Sixteen pennies short of his coffin's final nail But it's not for sale

Chorus

When hope is gone Looking for a reason just to carry on To lay that burden down you've carried way too long and Holding on When the dream's foreclosed and life is overdrawn There's currency left in this bankrupt world after all

Bridge

On the darkest day, they all went away One by one, they turned and walked the other way

Pre-Chorus

In despair and desperation She calls upon a long-forgotten friend Always there, closer than a brother 'til the end

Chorus

When hope is gone Looking for a reason just to carry on To lay that burden down you've carried way too long and Holding on When the dream's foreclosed and life is overdrawn There's currency left in this bankrupt world after all
