But do you think we would love better
If I couldn't speak
Cause I jump, blind, into words
Which I don't know how to use
And I hear, deaf, the tongues you try
My native language isn't known to you
But you hope to learn it soon
Chorus:
And I speak among the false-hearted
But I mean whatever I tell you
I'm not cheap, and I know your worth
I'm not weak but without you I'm not strong
I'm like a silver dollar in the way that
I can be spent but I come back to you
If you spend me right
Cause you spend, free, before you know
The cost of precious people in life
And you run, lame, into yourself
When your pretty legs could use a fight
And I am blind but I can be your sight
And I shrink
From my penny thoughts
But you're my weights
That weigh me down
And you're my weights
That stretch me strong
So I can walk around
Without my weights
And you shrink
From my penny thoughts
But I'm your money
That kills you slowly
And I'm your money
That buys you alive
So you can rise
To a better life
Chorus:
And I speak among the false-hearted
But I mean whatever I tell you
I'm not cheap, and I know your worth
I'm not weak but without you I'm not strong
Thank you for making me so far strong
Thank you for making me always wrong
And you thank me for this new song
You thank me for holding you so, so long
When you're so far gone
And those are my penny thoughts
