a fool's golden heart

Thought I was in a trance Thought this was my last dance My last chance to fix all the mistakes I could never take back At the start I was so sure I had a presence ever pure But my heart was gold for all the fools that ever came near me I'm a poison settling In the blood of my lover's veins Now it's killing slowly Spreading like a fire, but without the pain I knew right from the start I had a fools golden heart I really hate this part When you break this fool's golden heart Words can't escape your throat And there's no antidote Except your lips on my lips before you go Before you go Before you go Before you go Before you go away And leave me here to lay In the bed that I made Fabric woven with all of my mistakes At the start I was so sure I had a presence ever pure But my heart was gold for all the fools that ever came near me I knew right from the start I had a fools golden heart You know I really hate this part When you break this fool's golden heart
