Lyrics:
V1
I was searching for a pure love
One that I could hold near to my heart
I asked for guidance from above
I mapped my course and followed the chart
It took me through some dark places
I felt lost and thought I would find
My way out of those tight spaces
As I looked for my one of a kind
V2
I made mistakes and had some mishaps
Often blinded by their flashy tries
And at times it seems I settled for scraps
More than once I took home barflies
Easily deceived I bought into their lies
Tired of being alone, I compromised
I could see the truth when I looked into their eyes
I was too afraid of being criticized
Prechorus
The fool's gold fooled me
I thought I had found the prize
Chorus
For all the fool’s gold, I’ve had before
When it comes to you, there's no hype
I found 24 karats, a perfect score
Much less common than the other type
Your smooth and your edges aren't sharp
Color reveals a perfect sight
You softly call like David's harp
V3
False starts happened because I wasn't ready
So many times I lost my way and yet I knew
More than once, I know I was unsteady
But I kept digging, hoping for a breakthrough
Then by chance, I stumbled across you
I figured I had nothing left to lose
In the darkness, I took it at face value
You reached out and showed me how to choose
Chorus
For all the fool’s gold, I’ve had before
When it comes to you, there's no hype
I found 24 karats, a perfect score
Much less common than the other type
Your smooth and your edges aren't sharp
Color reveals a perfect sight
You softly call like David's harp
Outro
The fool's gold, fooled me
I thought I had found the prize
And it wasn't until I found you
That I finally got it right
