Fool's Gold
Location
Since day one, I couldn't take my eyes away.
Your eyes drew me in, shining bright and bold
I would have never thought then, that I had got so lucky
I’d found my jackpot under the rainbow, my pure piece of gold
After a while,
You opened up to me about your past,
You showed me the weak parts of you,
The ones that were gashed
There were lots of times
Where I thought it was too much
That I needed to dip out
But I never did such
I stayed through those long nights
With you on the phone
Crying your eyes out,
Saying, Tori just come home
Then that one night you kissed me
I thought my heart was gonna beat out of my chest
I was scared, but I loved it
Where it would lead, I never would've guessed
My best friend,
You pulled me from my comfort zone
Made me open up and let you see every part of me
You stripped me down...right to the bone
I never thought
I could love the openness between us
But with each passing hour,
All I could think about is your touch, your caress
To stay in your arms forever
To listen to your heartbeat,
My wishes were innocent
I promise to always be sweet
But things got in the way
And I would end up hurt,
But I had my Perri’s promises
No way could this get worse
I was naive, and little did I know
This was only the start
Things were gonna change
Mostly, my heart
I thought I was the only one
The only one you wanted
But I was just the one behind closed doors
Not the one that you flaunted
There are prettier, better looking girls
But it’s the heart we love, right?
When you come home all stressed out every day
Baby stop, I don’t want to fight
One day I realize
We’re never gonna work
Cause you’ve got your eyes on another
And you leave me to go berserk
I’m lost now
Where do I go from here?
You were my whole life
I just want to disappear
I stopped talking to friends
I don’t want to go out
I stopped eating
You’re all I think about
When will this pain end?
All I see in my head is you and that girl
That should be me!
God, I think I’m gonna hurl
Sick all the time
No stop to my pain
Day after day
I am simply drained
A month goes by
Then another after that
I still think about you
Do you wonder where I’m at?
You set my world on fire
And then you left me burning
I felt that spark way down deep
And I’m still yearning
Longing for that feeling of wholeness
Of being all together again
It’s still a road I’m going down
A process that’s hard to explain
I know I’m not the only one
At home with a broken heart
Many people have gotten over love
And they’ve gotten up to restart
You thought that I was weak and fragile
Something you could break
But I’ve grown so much stronger
I’m a mountain that will not quake
Now I say to everyone out there
With a broken heart
They might have made you feel worthless
But you are a million dollar work of art
