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
