Fools Gold

Please come smile with me just one more time
It won't get out of hand
Keep doing what you're doing now
I think I understand
Insight comes so fast sometimes
With confusion in its wake
I dug and found fool's gold again
But saw through it way too late
I saw through you way too late

You weren't far from me that time
Not so far from me
But it's been dying all this time

You still mean the world to me
For seconds on end sometimes
We talked until no more words were left
And the things we did were crimes
Why beautiful turned ugly then
I still can't understand
Please look at me just one more time
I can take it if you can
I can take it if you can

You weren't far from me that time
Not so far from me
But it's been dying all this time

You weren't far from me that time
Not so far from me
But it's been dying all this time
And now you're losing me
