S H O T SI’m sorry for everything oh everything I’ve done

am I out of touch am I out of my placewhen I keep saying that I’m looking for an empty spaceoh I’m wishing you’re herebut I’m wishing you’re goneI can’t have you and I’m only gonna do you wrong oh I’m going to mess this upoh this is just my luckover and over and over again I’m sorry for everything oh everything I’ve donefrom the second that I was bornit seems I had a loaded gun and then I shot, shot, shot a hole through everything I lovedoh I shot, shot, shot a hole through every single thing that I loved am I out of luckam I waiting to breakwhen I keep saying that I’m looking for a way to escapeoh I’m wishing I had what I’d taken for grantedI can’t help you when I’m only gonna do you wrong [repeat pre-chorus][repeat chorus]

in the meantime can we let it goat the roadside that we used to knowwe can let this drift awayoh we let this drift awayat the bayside where you used to showin the moonlight where we let it gowe can let this drift awayoh we let this drift away and there’s always time to change your mindoh there’s always time to change your mindoh love, can you hear meoh let it drift away

[repeat chorus][repeat bridge]

G O L Dfirst comes the blessing of all that you’ve dreamedbut then comes the curses of diamonds and ringsonly at first did it have its appeal but now you can’t tell the false from the realwho can you trust, who can you trust

when everything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, goldeverything, everything, everything you touch turns to gold, gold, gold, gold, gold, gold

statues and empires are all at your hands water to wine and the finest of sandswhen all that you have is turning stale and it’s coldoh you no longer feel when your heart’s turned to goldwho can you trust, who can you trust
