Love is a losing game
And I'm here trying to play this hand with no spades
You played the big joker
And the joke was on me
Energy invested in someone
I saw potential in
My heart used as capital
I thought the return would be great
An ROE of 100%
Forget return on equity
I expected a return on ENERGY
But the stock of our love plummeted
No Dow Jones or NASDAQ
A market crash
As epic as 1929
My heart went with it
Emotional bankruptcy
No bail out or emotional stimulus
Just a great depression
A dream deferred
And I wish my love
Would dry up like a raisin in the sun
Cuz sleeping with a broken heart is no fun
Not only a love lost
But I lost my heart and myself
All with one swift action
Trying to find my way back
But it's like Stevie Wonder and Ray Charles are my guides
The blind leading the blind
And I have no glasses
No map or marketing strategy
Just the pieces of my broken heart
Because your brand loyalty
Was at an all time low
I fell for your ponzi scheme
No Bernie
You Madoff with my heart tho
Cooked the books like Enron
No mark-to-market
You specialized in heart to heart accounting
And for a time
The assets equaled liabilities and owner's equity
No balance sheet
So the downfall
Was inevitable
Just know that now
My heart is no longer equitable
