Gold
He dont know I call him the teacher
He had hard lessons for the kid
I get up, put you through hell
He put me under the same spell
He lied, man, he stressed me out
You loved me like a precious gift
And he loved me like a sloppy kiss
You would tell me your heart aches,Now I understand the pain
Oh, why did I let you drown
Baby, would you believe, that Ive been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now its real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
You had no problems with commitment
Like a king is loyal to whats his
You looked for a ring to fit
While I played wifey with a kid
Oh, the irony makes me sick
He tried to make me look crazy
Nothing new about his kind of scheme
I laugh when I think about his face
When truth nearly spilled out
He looked like me, I get that now
But, baby, would you believe that Ive been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now its real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Ah, ah, ah, ah
But, baby, would you believe that Ive been broken
You say memories play again and again
I see the reel, now its real to me
I gave up gold for grains of sand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
Slippin through my hand, hand, hand, hand
