Fool's Gold
One Direction · Four [2014]
I'm like a crow on a wire
You're the shining distraction that makes me fly home
I'm like a boat on the water
You're the raise on the waves that calm my mind
Oh, every time
And I know in my heart, you're not a constant star
And, yeah I've let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for your fool's gold
And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret
Falling for your fool's gold
I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless
I get lost in your beauty and I can't see two feet in front of me
And I know in my heart, you're just a moving part
And, yeah, I've let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for your fool's gold
And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret
Falling for your fool's gold
Yeah, I know your love's not real
That's not the way it feels
That's not the way you feel
And, yes, I've let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for your fool's gold
And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret
Falling for your fool's gold
You're the shining distraction that makes me fly home
I'm like a boat on the water
You're the raise on the waves that calm my mind
Oh, every time
And I know in my heart, you're not a constant star
And, yeah I've let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for your fool's gold
And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret
Falling for your fool's gold
I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless
I get lost in your beauty and I can't see two feet in front of me
And I know in my heart, you're just a moving part
And, yeah, I've let you use me from the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for your fool's gold
And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret
Falling for your fool's gold
Yeah, I know your love's not real
