Reese Fleming - Nothing Gold Can Stay

Bury me face down and let me go
All of your problems worked out on their own
Now nothing gold can stay, and color fades away
And autumn leaves will fall and leave the trees empty

You are everything I hate, you are the words upon the page
That I can't read, I'll cross you out today, today

The thought of you, it cuts deep like a blade
Maybe thats why hearts are worth less than spades
I took a chance and put my cards on the table
Maybe I'm dumb, but I'm ready and able

Charred dreams and burnt hope
I find you on the fringe of reality
We're friends of formality, you're smoke in my memory
Distaste and dissociate

You are everything I hate, you are the words upon the page
That I can't read, I'll cross you out today, today

The thought of you, it cuts deep like a blade
Maybe thats why hearts are worth less than spades
I took a chance and put my cards on the table
Maybe I'm dumb, but I'm ready and able

Caught in a dream we can sing harmonies until we slumber
Caught in a dream we can sing harmonies until the thunder comes
Caught in a dream we can sing harmonies until we're younger
Caught in a dream we can sing harmonies until we hunger

You are everything I love, you are the words upon the page
That I'll read over and over again
Till my eyes burn red

The thought of you, it cuts deep like a blade
Maybe thats why hearts are worth less than spades
I took a chance and put my cards on the table
Maybe I'm stupid, but I'm ready and able

I can't but feel helpless
I can't but feel helpless

Bury me face down and let me go
All of your problems worked out on their own
Now nothing gold can stay, and color fades away
And autumn leaves will fall and leave the trees empty
