Analysis of Gem
I can't afford you,
You're a gem,
I'm just a bronze.
Rich came into my life,
Gives money for me to afford,
A gem that needs to be taken care of and valued
I'd loved the richness,
But I was played by it,
I lost you, gem, my happiness,
And you've found by someone else.
He was named gold,
As bright as the sun,
Pricier than mine,
He is original,
but I was your original
He's so happy, so I wasn't
Rich, why did you play along?
I was expecting that happiness would be pretty long,
Oh, I forgot I was just a bronze,
A bronze that's not as valuable as gold.
