I used to think that these words wouldn't go anywhere
My fever wouldn't start to break until they stopped, and they stared
I keep on when you won't
'Cause I know what you don't, don't, don't, don't
I took the risk, I took the bid
I took the blame every time
I took to knock, knock, knocking down your door
I took to taking what's mine

And everything they said was true
To keep you lost and cast away
I'd never sold your heart of gold
To keep you lost as days just fade away

I fell asleep at the helm of a runaway train
And laid myself at the feet of what I couldn't slay

And everything they said was true
To keep you lost and cast away
I'd never sold your heart of gold
To keep you lost as days just fade away

And everything they said was true
To keep you lost and cast away
I'd never sold your heart of gold

To keep you where they can't find
I need you more than I realized
I sip your glass and wave goodbye
I need you more, the rest alive

And everything they said was true
To keep you lost and cast away
I'd never sold your heart of gold
To keep you lost as days just fade away

(And everything they said was true)
As days just fade away
(I'd never sold your heart of gold)
As days just fade away
