Fool’s Gold Lyrics by Broken at Best

2024

They said I was gifted, I guess that broke it
Said I had fire, neglected to stroke it
I burned out somehow
Bet you're so proud
See how I shine, some of the time
I’m not who you thought now I've grown old
Wasted my prime, ain't it a crime?
I’m still catching eyes cause I'm fools gold
So much potential potentially wasted
You wrote me a life, I guess I erased it
I'll write my own now hope it turns out
Fine
At least it will still be mine
I spend it wasting
So much pressure so young
Told who you might bеcome
Great big weights, small shouldеrs
Can some wait until we're older?
No, can't put a hold on growth
Thought ya ought to know
I heard every word adults used to describe me
I think it's absurd the things some folks ascribed me
I once heard "Genius", A SWING AND A MISS
Formerly gifted, what I am now?
Formerly gifted, lost it somehow!
Formerly gifted, what am I now?
Formerly gifted
But see how I've grown, all on my own
Too misshapen now to fit the old mold
Still went so far, they call me a star
I guess all that glitters is fool's gold
They said I was gifted but there were returns
I paid no attention but penchant to learn
Put me so far ahead until they left me behind
But law of average, I’m average I’m time
What could be worse?
Guess it's my curse
Never too see all the things I was told
We’re valued I'm me, when they couldn't see
All I have in me is fools gold
Fools Gold
Nothing but fools gold
