Gold
Claud Lyrics

I know it's a problem I like falling into your arms
I acknowledge that it's an issue that I enjoy being in your embrace

And I know there's a reason that I always put up my guard
I am aware that there is a rationale behind my tendency to be defensive

You like drinking and then taking things apart
You have a penchant for alcohol and mechanical disassembly

But can't you see we're different people? I don't wanna make this hard
However, can't you recognize that we are divergent individuals? I do not want to complicate things.

I like my peace
Personally, I prefer tranquility

You like to fight
You, on the other hand, enjoy engaging in conflict

I like to reach
I endeavor to achieve success in my life

You hold on tight
You remain tenaciously steadfast in your own beliefs

But I'm afraid to ask you why (to ask you why)
However, I am hesitant to inquire why you remain so staunch in your opinions.

Don't say (don't say)
Please do not make empty promises

You were there when you weren't
Do not claim that you were present when you truly were not

'Cause I don't think (don't think)
Because I do not believe that you were there for me

You're so cold (so cold, so cold)
You currently appear distant and frosty

Ice on snow (don't say you'll be there)
Your cold demeanor is akin to ice upon snow, and I implore you not to insincerely state that you will be there for me

It gets old (gets old, gets old)
This repetitive cycle of apathy is becoming stale and monotonous

Rust on gold
This current detrimental state of affairs is causing corrosion on something valuable

I'm too optimistic when I think that this'll work out
I recognize that I am overly hopeful when it comes to the possibility of our situation improving

Without another emotional night where we both break down
I do not wish to endure another tumultuous evening where we both experience emotional turmoil

I keep talking
I continue to communicate with you

You say nothing
However, you refuse to respond to me

I'll keep trying
Nevertheless, I will persist in my efforts to rectify our relationship

For something
I do so, in search of a resolution

But I'm afraid it's not working
Unfortunately, I fear that our efforts are not having the desired effect

Oh, I should've told you what I never did
In retrospect, I should have divulged information to you that I kept to myself

I feel like I wasted away so many minutes (don't say you'll be there)
I sense as though I have squandered so much time that could have been better spent, and I beseech you not to outright promise to be there for me

I need something different than the way this is
I require change from the current state of affairs

'Cause I feel like I'm falling in
Because I perceive myself as metaphorically falling into a deeper, negative state of mind

Now I don't know if I wanna come home
At present, I am uncertain if I wish to return to the place I call home

Now I don't know if I'll ever go back
There is a chance that I may never consider returning again
