Nothing gold can stay
No one there to wipe my tears away
Walking on my broken dreams
the world is deaf no one hears my screams
I dare to shut my eyes
No surprise, tears to the brim
For all things wasted on him
Broken hearts
Broken wings
Bringing end to all good things
Blue fades to gray
In this world nothing gold can stay.
