She said "You‘re always broke"
I said "Well duh, I know"
She said "I guess I‘d better go"
I‘ve got empty pockets and an empty head
the empty feeling of an empty bed
I guess our relationship is dead
Now I‘m on my own
and I‘m living all alone
Now I‘m truly broke
I‘m as broke as I can be...
[Chorus:]
Can‘t afford to live
Can‘t afford to die
Can‘t afford to laugh
Can‘t afford to cry
I can‘t afford you in my life
Can‘t afford to love
Can‘t afford to lie
Can‘t afford to live
Can‘t afford to die
I can‘t afford you in my life
They said "It only goes to show"
I said "Well duh, I know"
They said "Well we told you so"
I got an empty bottle in an empty room
an empty stomach crying bombs not food
I guess our relationship was doomed
Now I‘m on my own
and I‘m living far from home
Now I‘m truly broke
I‘m as broke as I can be...
[Rep‘t Chorus]
Can‘t afford to end
Can‘t afford to start
Can‘t afford to mend
My fucking heart
Don‘t you know it‘s tearing me apart.
