Well, I've had high hopes for this round but haven't managed to write anything worth much. This one is (incredibly loosely) based on the Bill Gates divorce saga; just picking up on the "we had everything but lost the most important thing" angle.

lyrics

It’s anyone’s guess
We got used to “yes”
No one could stand in our way
Who could believe
The thieves could be thieved
Heaven could fade to gray

Nobody cried
When the bills would pile high
I still remember those days
couldn’t afford
 neither tunes not the chord
sang our own song, anyway

We’ve got every thing that we want
We’re the ghosts that got tired of the haunt
when you see what we lost
Does it justify the cost
Of our daydreams

Green lights say go
No one says no
Thought that’s what dreaming was for
But who wouldn’t choose
The chance you could lose
to walk through an open door?

And we wander the halls
We still walk through the walls
Somebody else cleans the mess
Did we forget
How to settle our bets
when we grew accustomed to “yes”

We’ve got every thing that we want
We’re the ghosts that got tired of the haunt
when you see what we lost
Does it justify the cost
Of our daydreams
