When The Money Runs Out

You walk a mile in another man’s shoes
When the money runs out
Every song you sing
It sounds like the blues
When the money runs out
Reality hits but it doesn’t hurt
No one knows what you’re laughing about
When the money runs out

You think of how it used to be
When the money runs out
You wonder how it all came so easily
When the money runs out
You had it good for far too long
Now you whisper you don’t shout
When the money runs out

It came and it went
It ran through your fingers
The memory lingers
Of breaking the rules
It came and it went
It flowed like a river
You were a giver
The Pied Piper of fools

You get to see who you really are
When the money runs out
It’s suddenly clear
You’ve not come very far
When the money runs out
You never stopped to think ahead
Never planned to do without
When the money runs out

When the money runs out
When the money runs out
It came and it went
It ran through your fingers
The memory lingers
Of breaking the rules
It came and it went
It flowed like a river
You were a giver
The Pied Piper of fools

Tired mask finally falls away
When the money runs out
Life is no longer a role you play
When the money runs out
But through it all you had her smile
True love is never in doubt
When the money runs out
