Nothing Gold Can Stay

Everytime you leave
 It's like you take another piece of me
 And everytime you leave
 It's like you take what's left of me
 'Cos you stole the day
 And you took the night
 And even the sun too
 But I guess
 Nothing gold can stay
 I heard it through the grapevine
 I heard people say before
 To love you was never easy
 To love you would always be hard
 And I guess
 Nothing gold can stay
 Dear sun
 Dear moon
 Dear the ocean too
 And I begged and I prayed
 Let me please keep you
 But I guess
 Nothing gold can stay
 I wish I could have told you how much
 You mean to me
 Wish I could turn back time
 And for us to see
 For us to see
 That love
 Is the most delicate thing
 But as the spring yearns for summer
 Like the desert misses the rain
 Love me a little
 'Cos I adore you
 And I guess
 Nothing gold can stay
 I know
 You're not all to blame
 'Cos I rushed in like one of these fools
 But when you undressed me to my bones
 You put light on my darkest wounds
 And I guess nothing gold can stay
 I guess nothing gold can stay
 I guess nothing gold can stay
 I guess nothing gold can stay
 I guess nothing gold can stay
 Well I guess nothing gold can stay
 I guess nothing gold can stay
 Well I guess nothing gold can stay
