All That Glitters Isn't Gold

Took me a while, I’ll admit it

Been looking out for deceptive qualities

Said you stood by me but you didn’t

I sniffed you out before you had the chance to leave

Don’t care about a reputation

I wish you nothing but the best

Think I deserved a conversation

Still you say you don’t love me less

But I met you and I put you on

You saw my secrets, had my fun

But when my world was uncontrolled

I never found your hand to hold

So I turned out my little lights

But then you said I caused a fight

I drew the line and here I fold

Cause all that glitters isn’t gold

Sometimes I wish I never spoke up

And kept it all inside to be a step ahead

Instead, the truth provoked you

Had you thinking it was untrue

Been keeping count of all of your bluffs

but somehow I held onto everything we were

a leopard doesn’t change its spots

I should’ve known the moment I was taking score

But I met you and I put you on

You saw my secrets, had my fun

But when my world was uncontrolled

I never found your hand to hold

So I turned out my little lights

And then you said I caused a fight

I drew the line and here I fold

Cause all that glitters isn’t gold

If this meets the headlines

Have I reached your deadlines?

No, I’m not sorry

Living out a suitcase

You’re living in your space

I got out Scot free

Past the best-before date

Are we on the same page?

We’ll split evenly

I’ve been staying up late

I’ll say it with a straight face

I know you miss me

So I turned out my little lights

And then you said I caused a fight

I drew the line and here I fold

Cause all that glitters isn’t gold
