Lyrics
[Intro]
(Start with a lone keyboard chord, maybe some soft hi-hats)
You know, I tried to see it your way...
But my bank account wasn't the only thing feeling empty.
[Verse 1]
Every night the conversation starts with a list
New designer shoes, a bigger diamond on the wrist
I watch your eyes scan the room, looking for a higher price
Never settling for simple things, just a sliver of the light
You talk about the Maserati key, never the road we could travel on
Always a take-take-take, the 'what can you do for me' marathon
[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you're chasing a feeling you can buy
While I'm looking for a truth that money can't supply
We stand in the same moment, but we're living different lives
Your heaven is a vault, and mine is looking in your eyes
[Chorus]
Your Wants are not my Needs
We're planting totally different seeds
You want the glamour, I need the gospel
This connection is never gonna be fertile
You're obsessed with the giving of the gift
I'm just looking for the genuine lift
[Verse 2]
I tried to tell you I want a conversation past the surface
Something real, something that proves this love has a purpose
I wanted time spent quiet, maybe watching the sunrise
You only see the value in what the world will criticize
I'm talking about the soul, you're talking about the lease
I'm asking for a future, you're asking for peace of mind (by having everything)
[Bridge]
I finally figured out the trade you're making
It's love for convenience, and my heart is breaking
I'd rather be alone and rich in spirit
Than stand beside your kingdom and not feel you near it
Gotta walk away from this expensive cage
Gotta turn the page on this empty stage
[Outro]
(Guitar solo fades out with synth pads)
Empty stage...
Different seeds...
Walk away...
