Love is not made of gold No matter what you've been told It's nothing but a lie It'll begin to rust Tarnish and turn to dust Where once it used to shine Cause it's only an illusion A cruel trick of the light Blinding your sight And that warm sweet delusion Will soon enough turn cold Crumble and corrode Love is not made of gold Love is not built to last It shatters just like glass Time and time again No more precious than jewels Just a game that's played by fools That always ends in pain Yes it's only an illusion A cruel trick of the light Blinding your sight And that warm sweet delusion Will soon enough turn cold Crumble and corrode Love is not made of gold It'll turn a beggar into a believer Build a shrine And fall to his knees Cause it all glitters until It deceives you Curse the day That he finally sees Well it's only an illusion A cruel trick of the light Blinding your sight And that warm sweet delusion Will soon enough turn cold Crumble and corrode Love is not made of gold
