[Verse]
The golden thread, it weaves through the soul,
But we dropped the needle, let it unravel, lost control.
Common sense ain't common, that's the truth we bled,
Heart broke, I'm choking on the words unsaid.
[Chorus]
The golden rule, still shining, though the polish fades,
Echoes in the shadows, where the heartache stays.
Together we could build, but we choose to sever,
Is it fools or the wise who can hold it forever?
[Verse 2]
Respect ain't a relic, but we treat it like a myth,
Forgotten in the hustle, buried in the rift.
Hands stretched out, but we slap 'em away,
Golden rule a ghost, haunting every day.
[Chorus]
The golden rule, still shining, though the polish fades,
Echoes in the shadows, where the heartache stays.
Together we could build, but we choose to sever,
Is it fools or the wise who can hold it forever?
[Bridge]
Mirror’s reflection, the truth’s in the glass,
But we turn our backs, letting kindness pass.
Sewn in our nature, but the seams come undone,
A threadbare tapestry, unraveling under the sun.
[Verse 3]
Is my heart broken, or just wise to the game?
The rules rewritten, but the pain stays the same.
The golden ain't tarnished, it's us that dimmed,
Lost in the shuffle, love’s a card we trimmed.
