Gold Dust Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hear me now, it’s my time to talk
I'm throwing out, these two years of thoughts

Freeze and take a deep breath
I'll lay my heart out, helpless on the floor
Tears crash down, your face, not mine
Screaming out, how I changed through time

I know it’s hard to leave it
To say we've been defeated

[Pre-Chorus]
But everything around me has changed
My my
We had


[Chorus]
Gold dust!
Gold dust!
Gold dust!

No more...!
Tear drops!
Tear drops!
Tear drops!


[Verse 2]
Memories, without fortune or fame
Endlessly, through the night and through the day
They make hard times seem easy
Dark days seem so pleasing
[Pre-Chorus + Chorus]

[Wordless Post-Chorus]

[Bridge]
And I'm so sorry, darling
Did I break your trust completely?
I don't want you to be lonely
Cause I know you've found your love again
And I promise I’ll stop calling
If it makes it easy for you
I'm about to see you leaving
But it's for the best, believe, my friend

[Chorus](3x)
