Fool's Gold

[Verse 1] I won't let you burn me, cheat and destroy me Bleed and exploit me, then preach of your loyalty If only your heart was as honest as your lust for a profit You'll see what you threw away [Pre-Chorus 1] You're selling fool's gold Get what you give See through the blindfold Beneath the skin [Chorus 1] Now you're playing with fire, it's never gonna stop Climb higher and higher to be on top Tell me, friend, is it lonely becoming the enemy? Your castle's burning down [Verse 2] You see yourself a victim Distorting the rhythm to chase the crown (To chase the crown) Preying on misfortune You tell the tale of idle common ground [Pre-Chorus 2] You're selling fool's gold, no identity See through the blindfold See through the roles that you play [Chorus 2] Now you're playing with fire, it's never gonna stop Climb higher and higher to be on top Tell me, friend, is it lonely becoming the enemy? Your fantasy is falling down [Breakdown] There will come a day with no one left to sing your song And in the end No one will mourn you when you're gone No one will mourn you when you're gone [Bridge] Deceiver, greed is a fever Betrayal is cheaper You're starting to crack (Knife in my back) You're crossing your fingers The joke of you lingers You're starting to crack And now you can't buy it back [Chorus 3] Still playing with fire, you're never gonna stop No sense of remorse or an afterthought Watch you hang from the rope as you reach out your hand to me Erase the memories (Still playing with fire, you're never gonna stop) (No sense of remorse or an afterthought) Erase the memories I hear your voice but know not your face What once was meaningful has all but faded away
