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
