| My fever wouldn’t start to break until they stopped and they stared
|
| I keep on when you won’t
|
| 'Cause I know what you don’t, don’t, don’t, don’t
|
| I took the risk, I took the bid
|
| I took the blame every time
|
| I took to knock, knock, knocking down your door
|
| I took to taking what’s mine
|
| And everything they said was true
|
| To keep you lost and cast away
|
| I’d never sold your heart of gold
|
| To keep you lost as days just fade away
|
| I fell asleep at the helm of a runaway train
|
| And laid myself at the feet of what I couldn’t slay
|
| And everything they said was true
|
| To keep you lost and cast away
|
| I’d never sold your heart of gold
|
| To keep nowhere that you can’t find
|
| I need you more than I realized
|
| I sip your glass and wave goodbye
|
| I need you more, the rest alive
|
| (And everything they said was true)
|
| As days just fade away
|
| (I'd never sold your heart of gold)
|
| As days just fade away |
