Fool's Gold - Sandra McCracken

Nobody needs another love song

Sometimes you need to sing your own song

Nobody needs a symbol and a clanging gong

It is not love, it is not love, is not love

Nobody needs another bouquet

Or put on a show, like they sing on your birthday

Nobody needs a paper serenade

It is not love, it is not love, it is not love

But if it’s not okay

Then it is not the end

And this is not okay

So I know this is not, this is not the end

The kids are laughing in the other room

A life more complicated, their smiles are still in bloom

They’re on their own

Take them by the hand, the best we can

We give them love, we give them love

But if it’s not okay

Then this is not the end

And this is not okay

So i know this is not, this is not the end

The fog is coming clearer now

And I am waking up

The light brings out the shimmer

Of what is fool’s gold, what is love

What was fool’s gold, what is love

Nobody needs your secret handshakes

You lose your privilege with careless mistakes

My heart is worth more

Drop it and it breaks

Such fragile love, it is not love, it is not love

But if it’s not okay

Then it is not the end

And this is not okay

So I know this is not, this is not the end

It’s not okay

And it is not the end

And this is not okay

So I know it is not, it is not the end

What was fool’s gold, what is love

What was fool’s gold, what is love

What was fool’s gold, what is love
