Elizsabeth - Gold Lyrics

Strong or outspoken
Soft or just broken
Make up your mind
Which one am I?

Honest or selfish
I never asked for your perspective
But you're gonna say
And tell me anyway

Another faceless name on a screen
Speaking words of judgement over me

Look at you looking down on me
In your glasshouse filled with nobody
Honestly it must be lonely
Things have changed from what I used to know
Taught to be afraid of sticks and stones
But it's words I read that try to break me

And I tell myself to turn my back
But these words sometimes slip through the cracks
And every time you try to dig holes
I'll fill them with gold

I can't be compared
I know myself best
Owning my truth
Won't be defined by you

Open hearted
Stronger than Midas
I've been scarred and bruised
But I let the gold flow through

Finding greatness in my insecurities
A lesson learnt I know what I can be

Look at you looking down on me
In your glasshouse filled with nobody
Honestly it must be lonely
Things have changed from what I used to know
Taught to be afraid of sticks and stones
But it's words I read that try to break me

And I tell myself to turn my back
But these words sometimes slip through the cracks
And every time you try to dig holes
I'll fill them with gold

I fill them with gold
I fill them with gold
I fill them with gold

Look at you looking down on me
In your glasshouse filled with nobody
Honestly it must be lonely
Things have changed from what I used to know
Taught to be afraid of sticks and stones
But it's words I read that try to break me
And I tell myself to turn my back
But these words sometimes slip through the cracks
And every time you try to dig holes
I'll fill them with gold
