Fool's Gold
by Until Your Heart Stops· from Errors
Way west of the Mississippi
Where fog takes a hold and miners dig for gold
Is an empty promise this city holds
So stop the press, I’ve been lied to
Your headline reads… ”Breaking News”
Love will always forget about you
It’s left me dreaming that one day you will need me
But my heart sunk towards the bottom of the bay
Now we can dance instead of race
To the dying pulse of what eroded away
Look in a mirror I see a friendly face
I tell myself that I am okay
You can’t see inside but it feels like I’m dying
I’m too poor even for a miracle
Please stop this downward spiral
Instead I rely on bad luck and sad songs to get me through these days
I will be the one you see, always perfecting being lonely
I asked you to help me
But you sold love to me
Like stars too far to see
It was never meant to be
Now I’m stuck trying to comprehend
I’m stuck in this tunnel, another dead end
I gambled with this game and it seemed like I won
But nothing is ever won when you’re fooled by love
When forever is finally through
I’ll be over, over you.
