All That Glitters

Buddy, take a number
Tell another lie
Cause, we know
That just aint how the story goes
Everyday pretending
And trying to understand
Why you been
Walking around in other people's clothes

Trying to touch their heaven
Reaching for the ring
But it seems
It's a world you're not invited to
It's all you ever wanted
And think that you deserve
But you see
It's a wall you're never breaking through

When the day's getting old
And the night's growing cold
There's a truth that must be told
All that glitters isn't gold

Once you found it easy
Dancing on the lawn
With a girl
And the dreams of all the things to come
Living for the minute
Without another plan
Cause, you knew
You were always meant to be the one

Fate is unforgiving
When she calls your name
And she says
You know that destiny is just a lie
Fighting with your shadow
Losing every time
In the end
You walked away without a reason why

When the day's getting old
And the night's growing cold
There's a truth that must be told
All that glitters isn't gold

Going 'round in circles
Running for your life
And you feel
All those rules you learned are wearing thin
Feels like desperation
And running out of time
Even though
It's a game you're not allowed to win

Walking on the water
Or sinking like a stone
There were just
Too many ways that you could lose
Shouting from the rooftops
Or whispering her name
Either way
Never could decide which one to choose

When the day's getting old
And the night's growing cold
There's a truth that must be told
All that glitters isn't gold

All that glitters isn't gold
All that glitters isn't gold
