Look beneath the surface
And see what you're getting into
Make sure it's what you want to do
Don't believe everything at face value
Dig deeper
Think smarter
If it seems too good to be true
Don't trust those words
You'll only be hurt
I didn't take my own advice
And fell for the gold-plated deceit
So appealing
It's easy to take
But then you find out
It's all just a fake
So what did you gain
From the gold-plated deceit?
Don't end up like me
Lost and in the dark
Good try
But now the fight's begun
Left awake all night
Wondering what's right
I knew it in my heart
But my head was telling me differently
I didn't take my own advice
And fell for the gold-plated deceit
So appealing
It's easy to take
But then you find out
It's all just a fake
So what did you gain
From the gold-plated deceit?
