Worth

Worth

All the money in the world, it can't make you sixteen.
You can't buy laughter from a vending machine.
You can't pay the sun to rise on a dark night. 
You may buy love but they won't love you right.
You can't buy happy endings, 
you can only hope.
When people are crying,
you can't pay them to cope.
You can't buy a pretty dream whilst in a nightmare.
Houses aren't priced at how much shxt happened there.
You can't buy back innocence, or Patch,
or Grandad.
Money can't teach those who are happy to be sad.
Money can't fix scars on a young girl's wrist,
nor can it bring back the night you and I almost kissed.
They could give me every penny,
every penny on Earth, 
but it wouldn't make the real things better or worse.
I found five dollars but I can't buy him back
if he's fxcking my best friend behind my back.
Money can't take back the words that were said
when all of that vodka had gone to your head.
It will only ever compensate, won't take away the guilt,
when he thinks of her family and the blood that was spilt.
Scars always remain.
You can't buy a brighter day. 
Money doesn't make the clouds go away.
