"Weight In Gold" lyrics

And this is how we dance
You can talk to me or you can call your friends
And in the same pretense
You can shake it off or you can run again

You're always running from something
But something's bringing up nothing
That we can talk about
So now you're running from nothing
Instead of living for something
And yeah it gets you down

And if you lose your sense of confidence again
And we can't take it back instead

What if you stay for what you're running away from?
You're getting it all wrong
And what if you can't look forward, baby I'd said so
Because we're only getting old
And time moves slow
Before anybody knows
You're worth your weight, your weight in gold

And this is how it starts
You want everything but you won't play your cards
And in your heart of arts
Is there what you want? Have we gone too far?

Oh I can tell that you're bluffing
'Cause I can see your split coming
I'll let you think about
Just let me love you for something
Instead of giving me nothing
So I can work you out

What if you stay for what you're running away from?
You're getting it all wrong
And what if you can't look forward, baby I'd said so
Because we're only getting old
And time moves slow
Before anybody knows
You're worth your weight, your weight in gold

Try for me, don't cry for me
Or lie to me, oh no so baby
Won't you try for me, don't lie to me
Just try, just try, just try
Baby try for me, don't cry for me
Or lie to me, oh no so baby
Won't you try for me, don't lie to me
Just try, just try, just try

What if you stay for what you're running away from?
You're getting it all wrong
And what if you can't look forward, baby I'd said so
Because we're only getting old
And time moves slow
Before anybody knows
You're worth your weight, your weight in gold
