All that glitters is not gold

Not the light that hits your eye

Not the stories that you’ve told

Not the colors of your lies

Little white or big and red

Shining with the tears they’ve wrought

Love slain, strangled, and shot dead

Illuminates the times we’ve fought

All that glitters is not gold

I wish I could blink back our past

And never let our love unfold

A lie is never built to last
