Piggy Bank
Piggy Bank of Deception: Love's Costly Gamble
Lyrics
I wasn't lying when I said I had no money left to spend
Expresses honesty about having no money left to spend.
And now it's obvious that you just wanted me to play pretend
Suggests that someone desired a façade or make-believe rather than authenticity.
And you're the reason why sometimes I toss and turn at night

But you're the reason why sometimes I feel like everything will be alright
