Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Oh, maybe I just wasn't good enough

To blow your mind, you know I've tried

Them silver lines, they cut like blades of glass

Not worth the blood we shed for love

[Verse 2]

So give it up, start beating

Hearts have gone cold

Had enough repeating

It's all been done before

Give it up, start beating

Hearts have gone cold

Hey now, when we gonna wake up?

[Verse 3]

But fools gold shines like diamonds in our eyes

Thought we had a million, but baby, we got nothing

But fools gold shines like words that make us cry

We just keep on digging

Find us something better

For the next time, next time

Something better for the next time, next time

[Verse 4]

So maybe I just wasn't strong enough

To toe the line, make true the lies

The fortune found, now it's all locked away

We've lost the key, hard to believe

[Verse 5]

So give it up, start beating

Hearts have gone cold

Had enough repeating

It's all been done before

Give it up, start beating

Hearts have gone cold

Hey now, when we gonna wake up?

[Verse 6]

But fools gold shines like diamonds in our eyes

Thought we had a million, but baby, we got nothing

But fools gold shines like words that make us cry

We just keep on digging

Find us something better

For the next time, next time

Something better for the next time, next time

[Verse 7]

Oh, baby, I just wasn't good enough

'Cause plainly, I just wasn't strong enough

[Verse 8]

But fools gold shines like diamonds in our eyes

Thought we had a million, but baby, we got nothing

But fools gold shines like words that make us cry

We just keep on digging

Find us something better

[Verse 9]

But fools gold shines like diamonds in our eyes

Thought we had a million, but baby, we got nothing

But fools gold shines like words that make us cry

We just keep on digging

Find us something better

For the next time, next time

Something better for the next time, next time

Something better for the next time, next time

Something better for the next time, next time
