[Verse 1]

I used to think that these words wouldn't go anywhere

My fever wouldn't start to break until they stopped and they stared

I keep on when you won't

'Cause I know what you don't, don't, don't, don't

I took the risk, I took the bid

I took the blame every time

I took to knock, knock, knocking down your door

I took to taking what's mine

[Chorus]

And everything they said was true

To keep you lost and cast away

I'd never sold your heart of gold

To keep you lost as days just fade away

[Verse 2]

I fell asleep at the helm of a runaway train

And laid myself at the feet of what I couldn't slay

[Chorus]

And everything they said was true

To keep you lost and cast away

I'd never sold your heart of gold

To keep you lost as days just fade away

And everything they said was true

To keep you lost and cast away

I'd never sold your heart of gold

[Bridge]

To keep you where they can't find

I need you more than I realized

I sip your glass and wave goodbye

I need you more, the rest alive

[Chorus]

And everything they said was true

To keep you lost and cast away

I'd never sold your heart of gold

To keep you lost as days just fade away

[Outro]

(And everything they said was true)

As days just fade away

(I'd never sold your heart of gold)

As days just fade away
