Verse 1:
I grew up in the echoes of silver spoons,
Where laughter rang hollow like the light of the moon.
Old portraits hanging, smiles painted on,
But deep in the shadows, the love was gone.
Chorus:
Old money, worn down like the heart in my chest,
Chasing dreams that faded, I never found rest.
Ghosts of regrets in every old dime,
Old money's a burden, it don’t pay no fine.
Verse 2:
I’ve seen the parties, the glamour and glitz,
But all that I wanted was a love that would fit.
In the corner of rooms, where the whispers decay,
Hiding my sorrows, I drown them in gray.
Chorus:
Old money, worn down like the heart in my chest,
Chasing dreams that faded, I never found rest.
Ghosts of regrets in every old dime,
Old money's a burden, it don’t pay no fine.
Bridge:
All the gold can't buy what's lost in the past,
The shadows are heavy, the die has been cast.
These ties that bind me, they pull me apart,
Holdin’ on tight to a broken heart.
Chorus:
Old money, worn down like the heart in my chest,
Chasing dreams that faded, I never found rest.
Ghosts of regrets in every old dime,
Old money's a burden, it don’t pay no fine.
Outro:
So here I stand, with nothing to show,
Just a heart full of sorrow and a story of woe.
Old money's a tale, oh, but it ain’t all gold,
In the silence it whispers, the truth must be told.
