Nothing Gold Letra

Do everything just as I should
You never were the problem
It was me all along, you know
I've finally come to realize

Nothing gold can ever stay

Never wanted to start a fight with the people
And all I did was try to be their friend
Guess I'll have to find another way

Made myself a list of plans
Everything I want to say
Kept under the covers, until now
If only you knew my reasons why

Nothing gold can ever stay
Nothing gold can ever stay

I've come of age a year too soon
Eighteen past regrets
I should've stayed in the womb
Just a little bit longer

Things could've been easier
Masked in the dark
It comes to light, in my head
Wish I had it in my heart
Made mistakes I can't take back
I've tried, and it doesn't work
There's nothing new under the sun
That makes my stomach churn

Wish I could make it alright
It's not gonna happen today
Never wanted to start a fight
With the people in this world
All I did was try to be a friend

Do everything just as I should
You never were the problem
It was me all along, you know
I've finally come to realize
As I made a list of plans
With everything I wanted to say
Buried under the covers until now
And if only you knew my reasons why

Maybe you would do the same as me
Maybe you'd think the same as me
Maybe you'd follow in my footsteps
And preach it to the world

Nothing gold can ever stay
Nothing gold can ever stay
Nothing gold can ever stay
Nothing gold can ever stay

Not today
