In the heart of the city, where the lights shine so pretty,
He found his fortune, but lost what was pure.
Once a man of humble means, now lost in opulent scenes,
Left his love, for allure's obscure.

He's chasing shadows in the night, blinded by the neon light,
His heart turned cold, with the silver and gold.
The love he had, he traded for a lie,
In the end, it's a price too high.

She was there in his struggle, in the times they had to juggle,
With pennies and dimes, in the toughest of times.
But when the money came rolling, his love started strolling,
To the arms of another, drawn by the glitter and the glamour.

He's living high, while she's left low,
In the game of life, a devastating blow.
The love they had, is now just a show,
In the end, what does he have to show?

The echoes of laughter, in the halls of his mansion,
Can't drown the silence, of his abandoned passion.
The woman who loved him, before the fame,
Is a memory now, in his twisted game.

He's on top of the world, but inside he's alone,
In the heart that once loved, now as cold as stone.
He left her in tears, for a love that's unknown,
In the end, it's a truth universally known.

In the pursuit of wealth, don't lose your soul,
For all the riches, can't fill the heart's hole.
Remember the ones, who loved you in strife,
For true love's worth, is more than this life.
