false gold

I saw a field full of roses, and I ran straight through it
I felt the thorns rippin' up my skin
Now I'm sat here, blood stainin' my clothes
No matter the pressure, I can't stop the bleeding

I could hear the sirens echoing in the distance
Like some sort of warning yell to stay away from you
I didn't listen
Thought I heard the church bells
But now I see you were just false gold

I'm left here looking like a wet dog
Tremblin' like tree leaves in the wind
My eyes are bloodshot from the drugs you used
Now you're stood here pretending my scars are see-through

I could hear the sirens echoing in the distance
Like some sort of warning yell to stay away from you
I didn't listen
Thought I heard the church bells
But now I see you were just false gold

My pride is on the floor
I can't stop screaming your name
Took a bullet for you without a second thought (oh, oh, oh)
Now I look back and watch you take the shot

Swans bellowing in the distance
They're calling my name, they're covered in ashes
They almost look black in some sort of mourning of me
'Cause now I'm just a ghost of a memory

I could hear the sirens echoing in the distance
Like some sort of warning yell to stay away from you
I didn't listen
Thought I heard the church bells
But now I see you were just false gold
