Oh, silly me my dear, for thinking that you'd stay

Gave you my heart and then you ran away

Either I'm stupid, I'm foolish, or you're playing me

But it seems we were never really meant to be.

So I thought I would try something new

I wanted to find out if I could live happy without you

And it turned out I wasn't living at all

But I would've never known if you had just played along.

I was living a dream believing things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold.

Somewhere deep down inside I knew you weren't right

But breaking your spell was a plan I never devised

I wanna back here, forever livin' for you

But I woulda been living forever as your fool.

I was living the dream believing things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold.

I bit into the apple

I took the wooden nickel, yeah

I was blinded to my core

And I went into the wrong door

And furthermore.

I was living a dream believing things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold.

I was living a dream believing things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold.

I was living a dream believing things that just ain't true

Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you

You had me chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold

I was chasing fool's gold.
