Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hear me now, it's my time to talk
I'm throwin' out these two years of thoughts
Freeze and take a deep breath
I'll lay my heart out helpless on the floor
[Verse 2]
Tears crash down your face, not mine
Screamin' out how I changed through time
Know it's hard to leave it, to say we've been defeated
But everything around me has changed
[Verse 3]
My, my
We had gold dust, gold dust, gold dust
No more teardrops, teardrops, teardrops
[Verse 4]
Memories without fortune or fame
Endlessly, through the night and through the day
We make hard times seem easy, dark days seem so pleasin'
But everything around me has changed
[Verse 5]
My, my
We had gold dust, gold dust, gold dust
No more teardrops, teardrops, teardrops
[Verse 6]
And I'm so sorry, darlin'
Did I break your trust completely?
I don't want you to be lonely
'Cause I know you'll find a love again
[Verse 7]
And I promise I'll stop callin'
If it makes this easy for you
It hurt to see you leavin'
But it's for the best, believe, my friend
[Verse 8]
Gold dust, gold dust, gold dust
No more teardrops, teardrops, teardrops
[Verse 9]
Gold dust, gold dust, gold dust
No more teardrops, teardrops, teardrops
[Verse 10]
Gold dust, gold dust, gold dust
No more teardrops, teardrops, teardrops
