Crawled up beside you
And I was yours to hold
Still learning how to
But I was yours to love
I I I I I
Painted you in gold
When I I I I I
Held you high above it all
Are we chasing it still
Will we ever have it
Like we had it
Fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it
Or was it only fool's gold
Oh oh oh oh oh
I I I I I
Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had it fool's gold
Years have passed us
I wonder where you are
Would you forgive me
If I apologise now
I I I I I
Painted you in gold
Remind me
How we lost it all
Are we chasing it still
Will we ever have it
Like we had it
Fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it
Or was it only fool's gold
Oh oh oh oh oh
I I I I I
Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had it fool's gold
Thought we knew
love like a love song
Just cause
we learned all the words
But you don't realise
until the love's gone
Singing it all wrong
Yeah heartache to heartache
we fight on
Promises blinding the truth
But the truth is it was useless
You and me we're just fool's
Are we chasing it still
Will we ever have it
Like we had it
Fool's love
When we thought it was real
Did we really have it
Or was it only fool's gold
Oh oh oh oh oh
I I I I I
Painted you in gold
Will I ever find it
Like we had it fool's gold
Fool's gold
Fool's gold
Will I ever have it
Like we had it
Fool's gold
