all your gold

never see the big church steeple when i call you on the phone

never feel the rush of angels

when we stay up late alone

never whisper you a great love story

only scream and cry and moan

but you're a good man

but you're a good man

i keep telling myself to just let go

oh

let go of the one who took all your gold

i get home and there's a love note waiting

but only he is here tonight

and the words

the promises you're making

only echo all these lies

and for every sweet nothing you whisper

why is goodbye my reply?

'cos you're a good man

'cos you're a good man

i keep telling myself to just let go

there was someone that i knew before

a heart from the past that i cannot forget

i let him take all my gold

and hurt me so bad

but now for you

i have nothing left of all my gold

stare my heart blank

am i ever gonna let him go? get my gold back

and today i was a dead girl walking

see the light burn through tears

heard you say my name and get to talking of the love and all the fears

and you saw all the pain i was holding

and yet still you'd hold me near

'cos you're a good man

'cos you're a good man

i keep telling myself to just let go

there was someone that i knew before

a heart from the past

that i cannot forget

i let him take all my gold

and hurt me so bad

but now for you

i have nothing left

'cos there was someone that i knew before

a heart from the past

that i cannot forget

i let him take all my gold

and hurt me so bad

but now for you

i have nothing left of all my gold
