Heart of Gold

You can't explain what you want to say

You try but you keep on looking away

She said, I don't know if I feel the same

You'd better tell me now before it all unfolds

You're a sweet girl with a heart of gold

But I'm sure you know

And when it all comes down and you can't go back

You wish you'd never lied

And then you sat on your own at home crying

Why couldn't we have tried

Oh oh, whoa oh-oh

You better listen this time

I don't want to let you go

Oh oh, whoa oh-oh

I'll forgive you tonight

But more than you'll ever know

We carried on, everything's gonna be fine

No, it ain't, not with a record of mine

'Cause you can't carry on lying to yourself

It's not right and everybody else

Knows what you're looking for

And I know what you're looking for

But it seems so far away

But when it all goes down and you can't go back

You wish you'd never lied

When you sat on your own at home trying

Why couldn't we have tried?

Oh oh, whoa oh-oh

You better listen this time

I don't want to let you go

Oh oh, whoa oh-oh

I'll forgive you tonight

But more than you'll ever know

Yeah, more than you'll ever know

Your mind is working overtime

Your failed attempts to toe the line

Just pass me by

But nobody gets me like you do

I'm all for open arms

The inside joke

The deafening silence punchline

Yeah, more than you'll ever know

You better listen this time

I don't want to let you go
