The value is not what we say,
But what you are prepared to pay.
If you should ask what love is worth,
The greatest treasure on the earth?
When high demand met low supply,
Our early market reached the sky.
I found you when my world was bare,
And priced you like an asset rare.
The cost to keep you by my side,
Is every path I cast aside.
The value of the unpicked route,
Becomes the price of this pursuit.
With nothing left, I choose defeat,
And walk away in full retreat.
The market closed, we stand apart,
A bankrupt ledger and a heart.
But soon the daily toll increased,
Until my capital had ceased.
The premium began to swell,
Beyond the things I had to sell.
The price of love is now too steep,
A deficit I cannot keep.
I cannot pay the toll required,
My final assets have expired.
But what you are prepared to pay.
