Danielle Dennis - Fool's Gold Lyrics

You come around and look at me
With your big sad eyes and all your misery
And you wait for me to make it go away
As if I had no bone to pick
As if you've got no role in this
But sometimes, the victim shares the blame

Fool's gold, it's so very tempting
Fool's gold always calling to me
A gamble of potential, blinded by the shine
Then it always crumbles in these weathered hands of mine
Fool's gold wasting my time

I give and give and you just take
You're begging me to keep you safe
While throwing punches just like a little kid
How many times did you say to me
That you don't give a damn about how I'm feeling
Before I finally realized that you never did?

Fool's gold, it's so very tempting
Fool's gold always calling to me
A gamble of potential, blinded by the shine
Then it always crumbles in these tired hands of mine
Fool's gold wasting my time

Oh can't you see you made a mockery of me?
Gave you the real thing for a half-assed forgery
But I'm the fool who saw the best in you
Just the motherlode, you can take what you can use

Fool's gold took me for granted
Fool's gold stole my last shred of pride
A gamble of potential, blinded by the shine
Then it always crumbles in these careless hands of mine
Fool's gold... wrong place, wrong time

Fool's gold
(Just a fool, should've known better)
All of it was counterfeit
Fool's gold
(Just a fool, should've known better)
I'll never love like this again
Fool's gold
(Just a fool, should've known better)
I could've been anyone
Fool's gold
(Just a fool, should've known better)
Can't make it right, I've been too wronged
Fool's gold
(Just a fool, should've known better)
Took no time to be replaced
Fool's gold
(Just a fool, should've known better)
I'm waiting for your fall from grace
Fool's gold
(Just a fool, should've known better)
How I loved to watch you shine
Fool's gold
