Gold Plated

I really believed that you were solid gold

Should've checked the goods to see it wasn't a fake that I was sold

Should've taken my time, slowed down and waited

Coz at best, darling, you were only gold plated

I was mistaken thinking this kind of gold was a limited resource

The only thing limited about you was your fuckin' remorse

To understand the complexities of you

There ought to be a course, coz that ain't something I was taught

I really believed that you were solid gold

Should've checked the goods to see it wasn't a fake that I was sold

I should've taken my time, slowed down and waited

Cause' at best, darling, you were only gold plated

I thought that you were where I placed my value

When actually the only thing I value is the lesson I learnt from you

How hadn't I already learnt it was too good to be true

Wait till I find that 24 carat then I might pursue

I really believed that you were solid gold

Should've checked the goods to see it wasn't a fake that I was sold

I should've taken my time, slowed down and waited

Coz at best, darling, you were only gold plated
