Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I found your shirt in the chair

Still smelling like her name

Your boots by the door

And the truth came in the rain

You said you worked late

Said it was just a ride

But your phone kept lighting up

Like a lie you could not hide

[Pre-Chorus]

So I looked at that ring

On my tired little hand

All that shining I loved

Was a trick made by a man

Yeah, I held it up close

Watched it burn in the light

And I knew what you sold me

Was a promise dressed up right

[Chorus]

That ring was fools gold (fools gold)

Pretty till I knew

Fools gold, baby

Just like you

I wore your lie

Like it meant forever

Now I see it plain

It never was treasure

[Verse 2]

There was lipstick on your collar

And a dent in your grin

You kept your stories neat

But they were cracking at the ends

I remember the chapel

How I cried when I said yes

Now I’m standing in this kitchen

With a past I gotta bless

[Pre-Chorus]

So I took off that ring

Let it fall in my palm

All that sweet little sparkle

Couldn’t keep me from the harm

No, I don’t need your sorry

Or your sweet talk tonight

I can read what you wrote me

In the dark of your goodbyes

[Chorus]

That ring was fools gold (fools gold)

Pretty till I knew

Fools gold, baby

Just like you

I wore your lie

Like it meant forever

Now I see it plain

It never was treasure

[Bridge]

Let the porch light burn

Let the neighbors hear me cry

I gave you my whole heart

You gave me alibis

But I’m taking back my name

From the dust and the shame

You can keep that old excuse

And the weight of my ring finger pain

[Final Chorus]

That ring was fools gold (fools gold)

Pretty till I knew

Fools gold, baby

Just like you

I wore your lie

Like it meant forever

Now I see it plain

It never was treasure

Fools gold (fools gold)

I’m done with the shine

Your love looked real

But it was counterfeit time
