More than Gold

From the age of fourteen I never thought I'd live to see Myself in old age Broken hearted lonely nights Always on the outside Such effort to turn the page Deep down I always knew I wouldn't be able to see it through And one day I'd finally cave When you think that way you've already lost My sanity was tempest-tossed And one day finally came I emptied the pills onto my bed I knew I'd be better off dead I swallowed 'em one by one I called the girl to tell her goodbye I don't remember the ambulance ride I'm lucky to be alive! Now I'm in love And I don't give a f*ck And my friends are all hot and funny and cool I'm getting old And that's worth more than gold Cus I never thought that I would back in school My bedtime is eight And my hair's going gray Can't tell me it's bad I'm nobody's fool Yeah I'm getting old And that's worth more than gold Cus I never thought that I would back in school I wear comfortable shoes And get mad at the news And I just bought my first power tool Yeah I'm getting old And that's worth more than gold Cus I never thought that I would back in school Yeah I'm getting old And that's worth more than gold Cus I never thought that I would back in school
