Just Because It Glitters (Unplugged)
The city said good night and the water's getting cold
I'm sitting in my thoughts of the things I can't control
There's an ocean in my mind and I'm fighting riptides
And I wonder who would miss me
Everything I wanted never made me who I am
But I put all my happiness in someone else's hands
Like when I reach the moon, I'm still shooting for the stars
Cause everything I want is just a little too far
Thought that I needed it all
Started retraining my soul
Took me some time, but I know, oh
Just because it glitters
Doesn't make it gold
Shiniest dreams gon' leave you bitter
And it's all for show
American green won't make you richer
All you could ever need
Does it mean anything
Just because it glitters
Doesn't make it gold
It doesn't make it
Measuring my losses up against another life
I always crave perfection but I'm faulty by design
And I fight all the forces like reality and time
Then I get mad at gravity for keeping me from flying
Thought that I needed it all
Started retraining my soul
Took me some time, but I know, oh
Just because it glitters
Doesn't make it gold
Shiniest dreams gon' leave you bitter
And it's all for show
American green won't make you richer
All you could ever need
Does it mean anything
Just because it glitters
Doesn't make it gold
It doesn't make it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I'm sitting in my thoughts of the things I can't control
There's an ocean in my mind and I'm fighting riptides
And I wonder who would miss me
Everything I wanted never made me who I am
But I put all my happiness in someone else's hands
Like when I reach the moon, I'm still shooting for the stars
Cause everything I want is just a little too far
Thought that I needed it all
Started retraining my soul
Took me some time, but I know, oh
Just because it glitters
Doesn't make it gold
Shiniest dreams gon' leave you bitter
And it's all for show
American green won't make you richer
All you could ever need
Does it mean anything
Just because it glitters
Doesn't make it gold
It doesn't make it
Measuring my losses up against another life
I always crave perfection but I'm faulty by design
And I fight all the forces like reality and time
Then I get mad at gravity for keeping me from flying
Thought that I needed it all
Started retraining my soul
Took me some time, but I know, oh
Just because it glitters
Doesn't make it gold
Shiniest dreams gon' leave you bitter
And it's all for show
American green won't make you richer
All you could ever need
Does it mean anything
Just because it glitters
Doesn't make it gold
It doesn't make it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
I don't know when I'm gonna be happy
But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
