Just Because It Glitters (Unplugged)

The city said good night and the water's getting cold

I'm sitting in my thoughts of the things I can't control

There's an ocean in my mind and I'm fighting riptides

And I wonder who would miss me

Everything I wanted never made me who I am

But I put all my happiness in someone else's hands

Like when I reach the moon, I'm still shooting for the stars

Cause everything I want is just a little too far

Thought that I needed it all

Started retraining my soul

Took me some time, but I know, oh

Just because it glitters

Doesn't make it gold

Shiniest dreams gon' leave you bitter

And it's all for show

American green won't make you richer

All you could ever need

Does it mean anything

Just because it glitters

Doesn't make it gold

It doesn't make it

Measuring my losses up against another life

I always crave perfection but I'm faulty by design

And I fight all the forces like reality and time

Then I get mad at gravity for keeping me from flying

Thought that I needed it all

Started retraining my soul

Took me some time, but I know, oh

Just because it glitters

Doesn't make it gold

Shiniest dreams gon' leave you bitter

And it's all for show

American green won't make you richer

All you could ever need

Does it mean anything

Just because it glitters

Doesn't make it gold

It doesn't make it

I don't know when I'm gonna be happy

But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it

I don't know when I'm gonna be happy

But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it

I don't know when I'm gonna be happy

But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it

I don't know when I'm gonna be happy

But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it

I don't know when I'm gonna be happy

But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it

I don't know when I'm gonna be happy

But I'm happy to be here, to be part of it
