Lyrics:

Crawled up beside you
I was yours to hold
Still learning how to
But I was yours to love
I, painted you in gold
When i, held high above it all
Are we chasing, and still we'll be ever having, like we had in fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it, or was it only fool's gold

Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had in fool's gold

Years have passed
But I wonder where you are
Would you forgive me if I apologized now
I, painted you in gold
When i, and how we lost it all
Are we chasing, and still we'll be ever having, like we had in fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it, or was it only fool's gold

Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had in fool's gold

Find with new love
Like a love song
Just 'cause we know all the words
But you don't realize until he love is gone
Singing it all wrong
The heart ate your heart and we fight it on
Promise is blinding the truth
But the truth is, it was useless
You and me we're just fools

Are we chasing, and still we'll be ever having, like we had in fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it, or was it only fool's gold

Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had in fool's gold

Fool's gold

Fool's gold

Fool's gold

Will I ever have it, like we had in fool's love
