just a penny for the poor I ask
for a love that was strong and fast
oh! this judas betrayal was with more than a kiss
things are not always what they seem
lover, liar ... friend or foe?
to beg steal and borrow then throw it away
"i’ve no regrets, nothing lost or gained"
easy words for the brave to say
now sorrow, it digs away at it’s own grave
to have or to have not
is all that I have got
I see no hope in those eyes as they close

so sing a song for this bleeding love
for a life that we’ll never know
streets paved with silver
dreams made in gold
and as these icy stars, they sing, 
who will know what this night will bring
the envy eats nothing but it’s own
to have or to have not
is all that I have got
I see no hope in those eyes as they close

just a penny for the poor I ask
for a love that was strong and fast
oh! this judas betrayal was with more than a kiss
to have or to have not
is all that I have got
I see no hope in those eyes as they close
