Frae - Good Gold Lyrics

Choosing you over me isn't a good thing, is it?
Wait it out until we're tired, let time make the decision
At least I'll take the blame, I'll carry the weight
Lift it up above your shoulders, let you breathe a little longer

Choosing me over you
Is what a strong girl would do
Independent, self respected
Choose and face the consequences
Make mistakes, accept 'm
I make mistakes but I can't forget them

When you talk, I listen
Try to walk, walk with ya
Know every word you whisper
Before you even tried thinking it
I get angry at myself for being weak and too forgiving
But wait a minute, what's wrong with forgiving?

I go for gold
But I pay the price
I want it all
To protect with my life
I am my own child
I am born to be wild
I am a survivor and
It won't always be nice
But I go for good, good gold (Good god, good gold)
Whoa, yeah, And I pay the price

Well, I'll grow old and wise and true
And rich and famous too
I hope not to lose you while I do

Gave back what I took
Took what was taken
Played by the book
But babe mistakes are for making, yeah yeah yeah

When you talk, I listen
Try to walk walk with ya
Know every word you whisper
Before you even tried thinking it
I get angry at myself for being weak and too forgiving (Think straight, it ain't real)
But wait a minute, forgive me (Wait wait wait)

I go for gold
But I pay the price
I want it all
To protect with my life
I am my own child
I am born to be wild
I am a survivor and
It won't always be nice
But I go for good, good gold (Good god, good gold)
I pay the price

So now I'm sky high
In my lonely empire
Hitting rock bottom at the top
And if I die here
Ain't no tears to cry here
Cause I know I've worked for what I've got

Mmm and I'll take the blame
I chose the fame
I played their game
But now I've got a name
And something to say
But I miss you and I hate it everyday
It was me or you and now it's too late

I go for gold
But I pay the price
I want it all
To protect with my life
I am my own child
I am born to be wild
I am a survivor and
It won't always be nice
But I go for good good gold, good gold
Good good, whoa

(Good god good gold)
I am my own child
I am born to be wild
I am a survivor and
It won't always be nice

I go for gold
But I pay the price (I pay every little dollar of it hey yeah)
I want it all
To protect with my life (Whoa)
I am my own child
I am born to be wild
I am a survivor and
It won't always be nice
But I go for good, good gold
Oh, yeah
I pay the price
