We would’ve been so happy together, Had we sat And talked And listened. But we were both selfish And needed the other to beg, But we’ve never been beggars. But now Your heart is colder. Were I to lift a plastic cup and beg For your affections, I’m sure, You would show your empty pockets, Shrug with forced sympathy And continue on your way.

Empty Pockets
We would’ve been so happy together, Had we sat And talked And listened. But we were both selfish And needed the other to beg, But we’ve never been beggars. But now Your heart is colder. Were I to lift a plastic cup and beg For your affections, I’m sure, You would show your empty pockets, Shrug with forced sympathy And continue on your way.
