You Plate Your Heart with Gold - Sofia Talvik

You can polish all you want to

But the stains will never leave you

You can try to make it show

But we all know

You plate your heart with gold

You can pretend to be the good guy

But those moments seem to fly by

Yet a promise you can’t keep

You skip a beat and

Plate your heart with gold

You plate your heart with gold

It’s cheaper than the real thing

Nobody has to know

The anger and frustration inside

Is cold as stone

You think that we are stupid

But no one here is fooled

We all know

You plate your heart with gold

You plate your heart with gold

You’re just going

Through the motions

Of what you think

Is wrong or right

You’ve been lucky all these years

No one cared

You plate your heart with gold

You plate your heart with gold

It’s cheaper than the real thing

Nobody has to know

The anger and frustration

We all see seeping through

You think that we are stupid

But no one here is fooled

We all know

You plate your heart with gold

You plate your heart with gold

You’re going through the motions

But no one here is fooled

You’re going through the motions

But everybody knows

You plate your heart with gold
