Every time you leave
It's like you take another piece of me
And every time you leave
It's like you take what's left of me
'Cause you stole the day and you took the night
And even this arm too
But I guess nothing gold can stay

I heard it through the grape vine
I heard people say before
To love you was never easy
To love you would always be hard
And I guess nothing gold can stay

The sun, the moon
Feel the ocean too
And I begged and I prayed
Let me please keep you
But I guess nothing gold can stay

I wish I could have told you how much you mean to me
Wish I could turn back time and for us to see that
For us to see that love is the most delicate thing
But as the spring your hands for summer
Like the dance and miss us the rain
Love me a little 'cause I adore you
And I guess nothing gold can stay

I know you're not all to blame
'Cause I still like one of these fools
But when you undress me to my bones
You put light on my darkest wounds
And I guess nothing gold can stay
I guess nothing gold can stay
I guess nothing gold can stay
I guess nothing gold can stay
I guess nothing gold can stay
Well, I guess nothing gold can stay
I guess nothing gold can stay
Well, I guess nothing gold can stay
