Oh, silly me my dear, for thinking that you'd stay Gave you my heart and then you ran away Either I'm stupid, I'm foolish, or you're playing me But it seems we were never really meant to be So I thought I would try something new I wanted to find out if I could live happy without you And it turned out I wasn't living at all But I would've never known if you had just played along I was living a dream believing things that just ain't true Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you You had me chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold Somewhere deep down inside I knew you weren't right But breaking your spell was a plan I never devised I would've been here forever livin' for you But I would've been living forever as your fool I was living the dream believing things that just ain't true Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you You had me chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold I bit into the apple I took the wooden nickel, yeah I was blinded to my core And I went into the wrong door And furthermore I was living a dream believing things that just ain't true Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you You had me chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold I was living a dream believing things that just ain't true Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you You had me chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold I was living a dream believing things that just ain't true Oh I can't believe I ever believed in you You had me chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold I was chasing fool's gold
