Value

when i was younger
i had no sense of value
a pound went such a long way
and five, even further
and now that i'm older
the lines are still blurred
hearts go a long way
and bodies, even further.

you can give as much
it doesn't stop them taking more
you can love as much
it doesn't stop you wanting more

and i sell myself
for something less
than i would've bought for pennies
and i sell myself
for nothing less
than these memories.

and when i was younger
i had no sense of value
a penny was a pound
and five, even more
now that i'm older
the lines are still blurred
i give myself away
and that's more than it is worth.
