Nothing Gold Can Stay

When your life is on a roll
When you think you're in complete control
Make the best of it 'cause it's never going to last
When you think you can't lose
And it seems you paid all of your dues
Pretty soon it's going to be a part of the past
What to do when your life takes a sudden change
When you know nothing's going to be the same
And it seems that life is just a game
And it hits you, that nothing gold can stay
When you think you messed up
When you think all you've got is bad luck
When it's easiest to just say "I give up"
When you start feeling sorry for yourself
And you think nobody can help
And you regret everything you've ever done
What to do when your life takes a sudden change
When you know nothing's going to be the same
And it seems that life is just a game
And it hits you, that nothing gold can stay
What to do when your life takes a sudden change
When you know nothing's going to be the same
And it seems that life is just a game
And it hits you, that nothing gold can stay
