Introduction of the first verse
There's a hole in my pocket where my money used to be
There's a financial loss or a lack of money due to a hole in the pocket.
My wallet moved out when you moved in with me
Symbolic representation of losing money due to the partner's presence.
When what was mine became all yours you began to change
Transformation of possessions from personal to shared, leading to changes in the relationship.
Girl, you're Breaking my Heart and Breaking the Bank
Expressing emotional distress caused by the partner's actions.
CH)
Transition to the chorus.
Breaking My Heart wasn't good enough for you
Initial heartbreak was insufficient for the partner, leading to financial betrayal.
So, you had to go and spend all my hard earned money too
The partner not only caused emotional pain but also spent the protagonist's money.
Now I'm broke and all alone with only you to thank
The protagonist is left broke and alone, attributing it to the partner's actions.
For Breaking My Heart and Breaking The Bank
Reiteration of emotional and financial distress caused by the partner.

When we met I thought I'd found a girl that I could trust
The protagonist believed the partner was trustworthy initially.
But it turns out you never cared about the two of us
Realization that the partner was indifferent to the relationship.
I didn't only lose your love when my whole world tanked
Not just losing love, but also facing a collapse of the protagonist's world.
You were breaking my heart and breaking the bank
Reiterating the partner's role in causing emotional pain and financial loss.
Chorus

Introduction of the third verse.
I never dreamed that you would be the kind that digs for gold
Surprise at the partner's unexpected materialistic behavior.
But now you're gone and left me here with nothing left to hold
Feeling abandoned and left with nothing after the partner's departure.
You ve cleaned out our joint account and now my side is blank
The partner emptied their joint account, leaving the protagonist with nothing.
You were breaking my heart and breaking the bank
Reemphasizing the partner's impact on emotional pain and financial ruin.
Chorus
