Poor

A poverty life
a broken heart
all I can give my wife
and I tear us apart

why are you still here
move on and succeed
all I can give is a tear
an that you don't need

So before you unpack
and think this is right
remember my lack
to put up a fight

I will continue to cause pain
and I think we both know
I am still the same
so you should probally go
