Verse 1:
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
We used to dream, we had a plan,
Now it’s turned into a fight,
You don’t understand,
Money doesn’t define who we are,
But here we are, just going too far.
Chorus:
Why can’t you see, it’s not just the green?
We’re losing touch, it’s tearing at the seams,
You say it’s just bills, I say it’s my heart,
Fighting over money, it’s tearing us apart.
Verse 2:
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Every month, a new debate,
You think I'm careless, I think it’s fate,
We gotta grow, together stay,
Don’t let these dollars lead us astray.
Chorus:
Why can’t you see, it’s not just the green?
We’re losing touch, it’s tearing at the seams,
You say it’s just bills, I say it’s my heart,
Fighting over money, it’s tearing us apart.
Bridge:
Let’s find a way to communicate,
Set our differences, we won’t hesitate,
Fighting for love, not just for the cash,
Let’s balance our world and make it last.
Chorus:
Why can’t you see, it’s not just the green?
We’re losing touch, it’s tearing at the seams,
You say it’s just bills, I say it’s my heart,
Fighting over money, it’s tearing us apart.
Outro:
(Oh-oh, oh-oh)
Let’s heal the wounds, let’s bridge the gap,
It’s you and me, we’ll find our way back,
Through all the storms, we’ll make it shine,
Together forever, your heart in mine.
