Fool’s Gold

[Verse 1]  
You liked me best when I was breaking  
Soft-spoken, barely shaking  
Like a lie you told yourself  
I was the source of your wealth  

You held me close, but not too tight  
Just enough to steal my light  
Thought I’d wait while you looked around  
But I was gold - and you let me down  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I saw the signs, I bit my tongue  
You played your game, I played along  
But I won’t be your almost prize  
I’m done with shrinking to your size  

[Chorus]  
Fool’s gold - that’s what you saw  
Shining bright, but you missed it all  
You thought I’d break, but I don’t fold  
You were the fool - I was the gold  
Two fingers up, I’m not your fix  
You wanted more, but I’m not your tricks  
Glad you’re gone, I’m stronger still  
Kindness isn’t weakness - it’s will  

[Verse 2]  
You chased the thrill, not the soul  
Took what you could, then let it go  
Thought I’d beg, thought I’d bend  
But I’m not yours to break again  

You wanted shine without the heat  
A pretty face, a heart on repeat  
But I’m the fire you couldn’t hold  
You were the fool - I was the gold  

[Pre-Chorus]  
I held back fire, I held my grace  
You’ll never forget this face  
I’m not your lesson, not your loss  
I’m the line you couldn’t cross  

[Chorus]  
Fool’s gold - that’s what you saw  
Shining bright, but you missed it all  
You thought I’d break, but I don’t fold  
You were the fool - I was the gold  
Two fingers up, I’m not your fix  
You wanted more, but I’m not your tricks  
Glad you’re gone, I’m stronger still  
Kindness isn’t weakness - it’s will  

[Bridge]  
Now I shine in my own light  
No more dimming just to feel right  
You’ll see me in your rearview pain  
But I won’t let it happen again  

You lost the real, you chased the show  
You were the fool - now you know  

[Final Chorus] 
Fool’s gold - that’s what you saw
Shining bright, but you missed it all
You thought I’d break, but I don’t fold
You were the fool - I was the gold
Two fingers up, I’m not your fix
You wanted more, but I’m not your tricks
Glad you’re gone, I’m stronger still
Kindness isn’t weakness - it’s will
I could’ve torn you apart, but no
I walk away - I was the gold 
Fool’s gold — that’s what you saw  
Shining bright, but you missed it all  
You thought I’d break, but I don’t fold  
You were the fool — I was the gold  
Two fingers up, I’m not your fix  
You wanted more, but I’m not your tricks  
Glad you’re gone, I’m stronger still  
Kindness isn’t weakness — it’s will  
I could’ve torn you apart, but no  
I walk away — I was the gold
