Shadows in your eyes
Black as summer thunder skies
Heavy rain is gonna fall
The “you and me” is gone
You insist that nothing’s wrong
But God knows my guts been tried
I’m experienced and wise
I feel you give me half of what you’ve got
I’ve heard it all before
And it scares me even more
I’m brushed aside with old clichés
Need no “Sorry, late night” flowers
I just need an honest hour
This time I can’t ignore
You’re not giving it your all
I ask you though I know the answer well:
Do you give me your gold,
Do you cut yourself open?
Are you bleeding half as much as I bled over you?
Do you cry behind the wheel on highways
Turning down your friends on Fridays
Risk it all to keep our love alive?
Do you give me your gold?
Working overtime to learn to love myself and I’m not just throwing that away
I see red flags everywhere
I recognize that empty stare
I hold my head up high
No more stupid questions why
The answers are right there spelled out in your eyes
Gold doesn’t rust or lose its shine
Gold is unique from Beginning of Time
Gold holds its value til the end
Gold is strong and last forever
Gold is either now or never
Gold is what you give the one you love
