"Gold" lyrics

I put our future in your hands
You left me behind
I tried to share this spotlight glow
You weren't meant to shine

Here in the mirror seeing clearer
Than I ever have before
I don't need anybody to make me feel
Like I'm someone anymore

'Cause I am the Gold I am the truth
I don't need anything from you
I broke the mold, I paid the dues
It's mine to win it's mine to lose
I can't buy happiness sellin' my soul
Took goin' through hell to know
I am the Gold

You took everything from the hills
Sifted through my life
Then filled my lungs with that black smoke
Left me like a man in the mines
California sunset shinin' light on what you couldn't see
They still come from miles around cause all along it was me

I am the Gold, I am the truth
I don't need anything from you
I broke the mold, I paid the dues
Its mine to win, it's mine to lose
I can't buy happiness sellin' my soul
Took goin' through hell to know
I am the Gold

Go on tell em that you made me
Pulled me from the dirt
Say you had a hand in anything I'm worth

But I am the Gold, I know the truth
Never needed anything from you
I broke the mold I paid the dues
It's mine to win so I can't lose
I can't buy happiness sellin' my soul
Took going through hell to know
I am the Gold
I am the Gold
