Fool's Gold
One DirectioNNNN Lyrics

I'm like a crow on a wire
I am vulnerable and exposed, like a crow perched on a wire.

You're the shining distraction that makes me fly
You are the dazzling distraction that makes me forget my worries and take flight.

Oh home
An expression of longing for stability and safety.

I'm like a boat on the water
I am adrift and aimless, like a boat floating on the water.

You're the rays on the waves that calm my mind
Your presence provides the serenity and peace I crave, like sunlight filtering through the waves.

Oh every time
A lamentation that despite knowing the truth, the singer falls for the same illusion every time.

But I know in my heart you're not a constant star
The singer realizes that the object of their affection is not a dependable source of light and guidance.

And yeah I let you use me from the day that we first met
The artist acknowledges their willingness to be used, perhaps due to their infatuation.

But I'm not done yet
The artist is not ready to let go of their illusions and desires.

Falling for you, fool's gold
Despite recognizing the deception, the artist continues to fall for the illusion.

And I knew that you turned it on for everyone you met
The singer recognizes that the object of their affection uses a similar facade with everyone they encounter.

But I don't regret
Despite the eventual heartbreak, the artist does not regret falling for the illusion.

I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless
The singer acknowledges their impulsivity and recklessness when it comes to love.

I get lost in your beauty and
The singer becomes entranced by the object of their affection's physical appearance and demeanor.

I can't see two feet in front of me
The singer's love blinds them to reality and they cannot perceive the consequences of their actions.

And I know in my heart you're just a moving part
The artist recognizes that their beloved is just a temporary fixture in their life.

Yeah I know your loves not real
The artist admits that their beloved's love is not genuine or honest.

That's not the way it feels
Despite knowing the truth, the singer still feels the intense emotions associated with their love.

And yes I let you use me from the day that we first met
Once again, the singer acknowledges their willingness to be used by their beloved.

But I'm not done yet
Despite the pain and disappointment, the artist is not ready to let go of their illusions and desires.

Falling for you, fool's gold
The artist continues to fall for the same deception and illusion, despite knowing the truth.

And I knew that you turned it on for everyone you met
The artist recognizes that their beloved uses the same facade with everyone they encounter.

But I don't regret
Despite the heartbreak, the singer does not regret falling for the illusion.

falling for you, fool's gold
The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the artist's continued willingness to fall for the same illusion, despite knowing the truth.
