Spent my life chasing neon lights.
Thought that the glow would always shine.
A million questions in my mind.
Waiting for answers for such a long time.
Things are worse than they look from the outside.
Fooled too many times to be easily satisfied.
All that glitters can’t be gold.
The truest stories stay untold.
I’ve learned to look past the show,
Finding more than I thought I’d ever know.
All that glitters can’t compare
To what is real and honest out there.
Now every shadow has its light.
Even a wrong might have some right.
I see beauty where it may hide.
What really counts is on the inside.
I believe in miracles but I’ve seen none.
Do you believe the best is yet to come?
All that glitters can’t be gold.
The truest stories stay untold.
I’ve learned to look past the show,
Finding more than I thought I’d ever know.
All that glitters can’t compare
To what is real and honest out there.
I won’t be blinded, I won’t be fooled,
I’ll break the silence, I’ll bend the rules.
If I keep searching, I just might find
The hidden treasure between the lines.
All that glitters can’t be gold.
The truest stories stay untold.
I’ve learned to look past the show,
Finding more than I thought I’d ever know.
All that glitters can’t compare
To what is real and honest out there.
All that glitters can’t be gold.
All that glitters can’t be gold.
All that glitters can’t be gold.
