[Verse 1] Oh, silly me my dear for thinking that you'd stay Gave you my heart and then you ran away Either I'm stupid, I'm foolish or you're playing me But it seems we were never really meant to be (So I thought I would try something new) I wanted to find out if I could live happy without you And it turned out I wasn't living at all But I would have never known if you had just played along [Chorus] I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you You had me chasing Fools Gold I was chasing Fools Gold I was chasing Fools Gold [Verse 2] Somewhere deep down inside I knew you wasn't right But breaking your spell was a plan I never devised I would have been here forever living for you But I would have been living forever as your fool [Chorus] I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you You had me chasing Fools Gold I was chasing Fools Gold I was chasing Fools Gold [Bridge] I bit into the apple I took the wooden nickel I was blinded to my core And I went into the wrong door And further more [Chorus] I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true (I was living the dreams, oh) Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you (I can't believe) You had me chasing Fools Gold (I ever believed in you) I was chasing Fools Gold (I was chasing Fools Gold) I was chasing Fools Gold (Fools Gold) [Chorus] I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true (I was living the dream) Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you (I can't believe I ever believed in you) You had me chasing Fools Gold (I was) I was chasing Fools Gold (I was chasing Fools Gold) I was chasing Fools Gold [Chorus] I was living the dream, believing things that just ain't true Oh, I can't believe I ever believed in you You had me chasing Fools Gold I was chasing Fools Gold I was chasing Fools Gold
