river of gold

say you're back

say you're good

that words can fly

misunderstood

and we can take hold of the past

when things were nice

and i knew

i was loved

skies were blue

and we shared the things that we had

but i've made the same mistakes twice

i'm done with trying to play nice

since you said i'm all wrong

i'll do in a right

and i'll leave you to your sorrows at night

you left me down

on my knees

now it's my turn

to watch you plead

so cry me a river of gold

i'll buy you jewels

i'll buy you greed

the kind that fools like you believe

can get you a better man's soul

cause i've made

the same mistake twice

i'm done with trying to play nice

since you said i'm all wrong

i'll do in a right

and i'll leave you to your sorrows tonight
