Love Is Not Made of Gold lyrics

[Verse 1]
Love is not made of gold
No matter what you've been told
It's nothing but a lie
It'll begin to rust
Tarnish and turn to dust
Where once it used to shine

[Chorus]
'Cause it's only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold

[Verse 2]
Love is not built to last
It shatters just like glass
Time and time again
No more precious than jewels
Just a game that's played by fools
That always ends in pain

[Chorus]
Yes, it's only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold
[Bridge]
It'll turn a beggar into a believer
Build a shrine
And fall to his knees
'Cause it all glitters until
It deceives you
Curse the day
That he finally sees

[Chorus]
Well, it's only an illusion
A cruel trick of the light
Blinding your sight
And that warm sweet delusion
Will soon enough turn cold
Crumble and corrode
Love is not made of gold
