Spent
your
life wasting time
Believing lies they told you
In the hardest times,
you wondered why
All your dreams kept falling through
If you're hoping hard,
or waiting for
Someone who can tell you
what you're worth
Oh my love, you should know by now
In this big old world of faces
You're still standing out
Oh my love, you should know by now
While they're digging
for a fool's gold
You're the realest thing around
After all this time,
you still run and hide
From who it is you're meant to be
But the thinnest lines are
between truth and lies
And it's never too late to see
That you're beautiful the way you are
And I'll tell you what you're worth
Oh, my love, you should know by now
In this big old world of faces
You're still standing out
Oh, my love, you should know by now
While they're digging for
a fool's gold
You're the realest thing around
Oh oh oh oh, ah ah ah
Oh oh oh oh, ah ah ah
There's a story in your scars
And a lifetime in your skin
But you're perfect in your imperfection
If you're hoping hard or
waiting for
Someone who can tell you
what you're worth
Oh, oh, oh, my love
You should know by now
In this big old world of faces
You're still standing out
Oh, my love, you should know by now
While they're digging
for a fool's gold
You're the realest thing around
Yeah, they're digging for a fool's gold
But you're the realest
thing around
You
