They thought it was sweet

Thought it was good

Said all the lines they thought I should

When did I change?

What had to die,

To make me a fake who lives a lie?



Say goodbye to everything I thought I knew



Cause all that glitters isn't gold

I got lost along the way

Saw the horizons with my soul

It's the price you have to pay

It's too high a price to pay



All of my dreams

All of my words

I didn't save one penny's worth

Traded my heart for shinier things

A little twist in my arm 

And you'll know I'll sing



Say goodbye to everything I thought I knew



Cause all that glitters isn't gold

I got lost along the way

Saw the horizons with my soul

It's the price you have to pay



It's not who you are,

It's who you know

Empty your heart and the money flows

Just like glitter isn't gold

It's the price that you might pay

It's too high a price to pay



Bah, bah-bah-bah-bah,

Bah, bah-bah-bah-bah,

Bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah,

Bah, bah-bah-bah-bah,

Bah, bah, bah-bah-bah-bah, bah, bah,



Say goodbye to everything I thought I knew



Cause all that glitters isn't gold

I got lost along the way

Saw the horizons with my soul

It's the price you have to pay



It's not who you are,

It's who you know

Empty your heart and the money flows

Just like glitter isn't gold

It's the price that you might pay

It's too high a price



It's too high a price
