So Weak

Peeking at myself from a narrow gap
I felt as if looking at my bill after a long nap
If I don’t pay my debt because of indulgence
My card will surely be cancelled

Sometimes reality is crueler than a murderer
Definitely, the reality is crueler than a debt collector

But, you accept me as I am
Including my weakness
I know you are also weak
We weakers will be fated with weaker ends
However, we are having nicer weekends

Sometimes reality is crueler than a murderer
Definitely, the reality is crueler than a debt collector

But, you accept me as I am
Including my poverty
I know you are also poor
We poorers will be happy with small things
That is why, we are singing many love songs
