| Crawled up beside you
|
| And I was yours to hold
|
| Still learning how to
|
| But I was yours to love
|
| I, I, I, I, I
|
| Painted you in gold
|
| When I, I, I, I, I
|
| Held you high above it all
|
| Are we chasing it still?
|
| Will we ever have it like we had it?
|
| Fool’s love
|
| When we thought it was real, did we really have it?
|
| Or was it only fool’s gold?
|
| Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
|
| I, I, I, I, I
|
| Painted you in gold
|
| Will I ever find it like we had it?
|
| Fool’s gold
|
| Years have passed us
|
| I wonder where you are
|
| Would you forgive me
|
| If I apologise now?
|
| I, I, I, I, I
|
| Painted you in gold
|
| Remind me
|
| How we lost it all
|
| Are we chasing it still?
|
| Will we ever have it, like we had it?
|
| Fool’s love
|
| When we thought it was real, did we really have it?
|
| Or was it only fool’s gold?
|
| Oh oh oh oh oh
|
| I, I, I, I, I
|
| Painted you in gold
|
| Will I ever find it like we had it?
|
| Fool’s gold
|
| Thought we knew love like a love song
|
| Just cause we learned all the words
|
| But you don’t realise until the love’s gone
|
| Singing it all wrong
|
| Yeah, heartache to heartache, we fight on
|
| Promises blinding the truth
|
| But the truth is it was useless
|
| You and me were just fool’s gold
|
| Are we chasing it still?
|
| Will we ever have it like we had it?
|
| Fool’s love
|
| When we thought it was real, did we really have it?
|
| Or was it only fool’s gold?
|
| Oh oh oh oh oh
|
| I, I, I, I, I
|
| Painted you in gold
|
| Will I ever find it like we had it?
|
| Fool’s gold
|
| Fool’s gold
|
| Fool’s gold
|
| Will I ever have it like we had it?
|
| Fool’s gold |
