We became friends back 

in middle school

On the weekends

Maybe broke a couple of rules

We had a bond that no 

one else had

Never thought that

Someday id be playing the fool

I guess i learned how the 

tables can turn
How a heart gets burned 

to the ground

Cuz i thought you were 

somebody you werent

Guess im finally figuring out

That nothing gold ever stays

It was time I walked away

Tried to dim my sunshine rays

But im getting brighter everyday

You were a phase in my life

The one where i called you mine

Im made to sparkle and shine

Without you in my way

Cuz nothing gold ever stays

You showed me good things

Can become cruel

That's when you taught me

I deserve better than you

I guess i learned how a 

table can turn

How a heart gets burned 

to the ground

Cuz i thought you were 

somebody you werent

Guess im finally figuring out

That nothing gold ever stays

It was time I walked away

Tried to dim my sunshine rays

But im getting brighter everyday

You were a phase in my life

The one where i called you mine

Im made to sparkle and shine

Without you in my way

Cuz nothing gold ever stays

Nothing gold ever stays

Nothing gold ever stays
