You told me that you'd stay with me
And shelter me forever
That was a hard promise to keep
I can't blame you for the bad weather

After all that has been said and done
I won't ask you where you're going
Don't keep in touch, I don't miss you much
Except sometimes early in the morning

So use your silver tongue once more
There's one thing that I'd like to know
Did you ever believe the lies you told?
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave to me?

I forgive you wanting to be free
I realize you long to wander
And I sympathize with your roving eyes
I just can't forgive your bad manners

So use your silver tongue once more
There's one thing that I'd like to know
Did you ever believe the lies you told?
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave to me?

Did you ever believe the lies you told?
Did you earn the fool's gold that you gave to me?
