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
