[Chorus]
Could you love someone that was never really there?
When times got tough, oh they never shed a tear
She talkin', and that shit's getting old
But you keep on chasin' (keep on)
Could you love someone that was never really there?
When times got tough, oh they will never shed a tear
She talkin', and that shit's getting old
But you keep on chasin' (keep on)

[Refrain]
Because you can't break free from (can't break free)
The silver and gold, gold, gold
[?]
Oh that silver and gold, (silver and gold)
Can't break free from
(silver and gold, silver and gold)
Can't break free from
(silver and gold, silver and gold)

[Verse 1]
I got more important things to see
Well there's more important things for me
Let's find our own way (Let's take a bow, gonna leave)
Let's find our own way (way, way ,way, way, way, way, way)
Well I done my time in a pit
Of despair, watching time slow down (slow down)
Said, I've spent my life chasin'
Trying to keep up with the crowd (oh they got this)
Chasin' the silver and gold
Trying to see through the haze, tryin' to hear through the noise
[Pre-Chorus]
But she won't leave me alone, no, no (no, no, no, no)

[Chorus]
Oh, could you love someone that was never even there?
When times got tough, but she never shed a tear
She talking, and that shit's getting old
But you keep on chasin' ( silver and gold)
Oh, could you love someone that was never even there?
When times got tough, oh she never shed a tear
She talking, and that shit's getting old
But you keep on chasin' (silver and gold)

[Refrain]
Because you can't break free from (silver and gold)
Silver and gold
Oh you can't break free

[Interlude]
And it's so hard to break free, yeah
And it's so hard to break free, yeah
And it's so hard to break free, yeah
And it's so hard to break free
(Hard to break free, hard to break free, hard to break free)

[Outro]
Let me go now
Let me go now
Let me go now
Oh, that silver and gold
Oh, that silver and gold
She won't leave me alone
She won't leave me alone (yeah yeah)
