Gold (Stripped)

I can take my mind back to a time when life was right
So young so reckless in that golden light
Told me that you'd always love me
Drew a love heart in our diary

But dreams are dangerous my father told me
Nothing in life's as it should be
Now I play the cards that life has dealt
Pawning all my dreams for a little wealth

You wanna be a dancer right?
Thought maybe we could dance for life
In your eyes I saw a home but then you let my hand go
If you're done telling all your lies
If you really want them other guys
We've been headed south from the start
Let me say this from my heart now

Pack your bags and get the hell on out
We got nothing left to talk about
I'm just sorry that I bought the ring
It don't mean a thing – not a single thing
I really think I gotta let you know
Deep inside you're still my treasure though
And that's what fuckin really hurts the most
All that glitters isn't really gold
All my homies tell me I'll be fine
And I can't tell apart my heart, my mind
Deep inside I'm better for it though
I'd rather be alone, better off alone

I can take my mind back to a time when we would try
To keep love burning through the winter nights
Said I'd always be your treasure
I thought we'd end up together
But momma told me to love completely
Only then can the heart see clearly
I can't see through the hurt now that you're gone
I don't feel complete out on my own

You wanna be a dancer right?
Thought maybe we could dance for life
Never thought I'd feel this whole but then you broke my heart so
If you're done telling all your lies
If you really want them other guys
We've been headed south from the start
Let me say this from my heart now

Ain't nothing left to say no more
Seven years walked out that door
Ain't nothing left to fight about
Girl you know we can't work this out and.

Girl what's so bad about it is I gave it all
How you could be the one to let me take the fall?
