money gets lost when you don't chase it

her eyes turned to money signs
when she saw the look of hard work paid off,
i ask, 'is it easy to love me
when i'm covered in diamonds,
is it easy to appease me
when i'm everyone believes me',
it seems the answer has been there
before we even sailed the ship,
is it me, or was my sight out of sync,
was the bane of my existence
the things i don't need.
