fool's gold standards - weglobe lyrics
(intro)
yeah! oh*oh*oh!
(verse 1)
i built my castle on your promises, i paved the streets with your “somedays”
i polished every empty word you’d say until it shone
i hung my hopes on every hook you left dangling in the air
thinking that the weight of my belief was something we could share
but your “someday” never showed up, your “maybe” packed and left
and i was left holding the deed to a kingdom of regret
(pre*chorus)
but the dust has settled now, and the rubble’s clеared away
and i see the cracks in the foundation, as clеar as a sunny day
this ain’t a tragedy, no, this is my liberty!
you thought you had me fooled, but now i clearly see!
(chorus)
i’m raising up my fool’s gold standards, high above the ground!
no more settling for glitter when real love is to be found!
my heart’s not a cheap token, it’s a priceless, solid thing!
i hear your empty compliments, and they don’t mean a thing!
these are my fool’s gold standards, shining bright and true!
and from now on, my dear, i’m only settling for you… at your best, not your residue!
(verse 2)
you tried to pay me in potential, in the currency of “almost there”
but i’ve recalibrated my worth with an incredible amount of care
i’m the vault, i’m the jewel, i’m the treasure and the guard
and getting past my standards now is purposefully hard
’cause i’ve learned to spot the difference between a diamond and a lie
with a sharp and focused vision from a once*believing eye
(pre*chorus)
’cause the dust has settled now, and the rubble’s cleared away
and i see the cracks in the foundation, as clear as a sunny day!
this ain’t a tragedy, no, this is my liberty!
you thought you had me fooled, but now i clearly see!
(chorus)
i’m raising up my fool’s gold standards, high above the ground!
no more settling for glitter when real love is to be found!
my heart’s not a cheap token, it’s a priceless, solid thing!
i hear your empty compliments, and they don’t mean a thing!
these are my fool’s gold standards, shining bright and true!
and from now on, my dear, i’m only settling for you… at your best, not your residue!
(bridge)
this isn’t bitterness, this is clarity in steel!
it’s the power of a woman who knows exactly how she deserves to feel!
so bring your genuine, your honest, your real, or turn around and walk!
’cause my heart’s a fortress now, and i hold the only key to the lock!
(chorus)
i’m raising up my fool’s gold standards, high above the ground!
no more settling for glitter when real love is to be found!
my heart’s not a cheap token, it’s a priceless, solid thing!
i hear your empty compliments, and they don’t mean a thing!
these are my fool’s gold standards, shining bright and true!
and from now on, my dear, i’m only settling for you… at your best!
(outro)
fool’s gold…
standards!
