fool’s gold

by brendan philip mccusker

verse

you know i

got sold fool’s gold but you saw the silver lining

and when i

went hot then cold you were sittin right beside me

i was lost but now i’m found

and i don’t wanna let you down

so can i

take time to find the strength to make you wanna stay

chorus

you’re not afraid of anything

you don’t fear what could have been

i must have made you my dreams

mmm—mmm

i wanna tell you everything

but i’m afraid to let you in

i’m not as strong as i may seem

oh no

verse

it was a

close call foul ball

but you told me not to worry

but i was

too small, know-it-all

yeah i folded in a hurry

i was reckless, i was brash

and i was busy talking trash

but now i

can’t seem to find the words

to make you wanna stay
