Pyrite (Fool's Gold)

[Verse 1]

Babe, just say you miss me, is it that hard?

Too long since I've heard about our love

Am I in this by myself? Yeah, hey, yeah

With rose-colored lenses on my store-bought frames

To see something other than these blues and grays

I need something different, hey, yeah, yeah, yeah

'Cause you ain't feeling the same

[Chorus]

Who knows, maybe I'm crazy, that's one big maybe

But even a fool knows when it's gold, gold, gold

I know pyrite from 24 karat, yeah

Cubic's from genuine diamond, yeah

A call from the woman who loves you and hello from a friend

I know when it's real (Oh, yeah)

I know how to tell

I know the difference between what you say and how you feel

Oh, oh I know when it's real

[Verse 2]

Oh, I can tell the difference every time that you call

But I don’t need a drink I need some time in my car

Time to drive and think, time to park and cry

You shoulda known you were beautiful

You shoulda known what I saw in you, yeah

Please forgive me for feeling like it’s all your fault

A heavy heart can’t carry blame for the loss

[Chorus]

Who knows, maybe I'm crazy, that's one big maybe

But even a fool knows when it's gold, gold, gold

I know pyrite from 24 karat, yeah

Cubic's from genuine diamond, yeah

A call from the woman who loves you and hello from a friend

I know when it's real (Oh, yeah)

I know how to tell

I know the difference between what you say and how you feel

Oh, oh I know when it's real

[Verse 3]

You might not notice, but I’m a man with pride

And this hurts me, baby, deep down, deep down

I can’t let go of this, gotta know I tried

It’s pathetic, baby, don’t lie, don’t lie

I’m a candle, you’re the sun

And you’re burning, baby, you're burning, baby

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, burning up

Burning up, yeah, yeah

Oh, oh, oh

[Outro]

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Pyrite from 24 karat yeah

Cubic’s from genuine diamond yeah

A call from the woman who loves you

And hello from a friend

We'll never be more than friends

We'll never be
