Fool's Gold

Oh, silly me my dear, for thinking that you'd stay

Gave you my heart and then you ran away

Either I'm stupid, I'm foolish, or you're playing me

But it seems we were never really meant to be

So I thought I would try something new

I wanted to find out if I could live happy without you

And it turned out I wasn't living at all

I'd rather never known if you had just played along

I was living the dream believing things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

So I did that inside knowing you weren't right

For breaking the spell was a plan I never did right

I wanna be here forever if it's for you

But I would had been living forever as your fool

I was living the dream believing things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was blinded to my core

And I went into the wrong door

And furthermore

I was living the dream believing things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was living the dream believing

Things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was living the dream believing

Things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold
