Heart Of Gold

(Album: One Foot In Front Of The Other - 2021)

Kinda broken down at the side of the road
Well, that was me when you found me, cold
Kinda broken down like an empty house
Well, that was me when you pulled me out

No, I know he got a heart like gold
And mine's a little more like stone
Like oh, he got a heart like gold
And mine's not even there at all
Sometimes it's like we're taking in the times, waiting
Before he suddenly realises that, baby
Oh, you got a heart like gold
And mine's a little more like stone

And this ain't how I wanted it to
I thought that I'd be ready, oh, for someone like you
But no
'Cause every single thing that you do
Yeah, you got a heart of gold

It's not that I don't feel a thing 'cause I do
It's that I've gotten used of trying not to
So I, I might not have the right reaction
Or clear signs of affection
Yeah, I might need just a second
To dust off the dirt

'Cause oh, he got a heart like gold
And mine's a little more like stone
Like oh, he got a heart like gold
And mine's not even there at all
Sometimes it's like we're taking in the times, waiting
Before he suddenly realises that, baby
Oh, you got a heart like gold
And mine's a little more like stone
Oh, like gold
He got a heart like gold
And mine's a little more like stone
Like gold
He got a heart like gold
And mine's not even there at all
Sometimes it's like we're taking in the times, waiting
Before he suddenly realises that, baby
Oh, you got a heart like gold
And mine's a little more like stone

And this ain't how I wanted it to
I thought that I'd be ready, oh, for someone like you
But no
'Cause every single thing that you do
Yeah, you got a heart of
And even though I'm trying my best
I'm trying not to think about it all in my head
Oh, I'll sort it all out later, I guess
I know I got a heart of stone
