Could you love someone that was never really there? When times got tough, they never shed a tear, She's talking, and that shit's getting old, But you keep on chasin' Because you can't break free from The silver and gold Can't break free from (Silver and gold, silver and gold) I got more important things to see, Well there's more important things for me, Let's find our own way (Let's take a bow, gonna leave) Let's find our own way Well I've done my time in a pit, Of despair, watching time slow down, Said, I've spent my life chasing, Trying to keep up with the crowd, Chasin' the silver and gold Trying to see through the haze Trying to hear through the noise But she won't leave me alone, no, no Oh, could you love someone that was never even there? When times got tough, she never shed a tear, She talking, and that shit's getting old, But you keep on chasin' (the silver and gold) Because you can't break free from The silver and gold Oh you can't break free It's so hard to break free Love ain't over Oh, that silver and gold She won't leave me alone
