Heart of Gold - Birdy

I can be strong when I want to be

You think I’m weak ‘cause you can tear me apart with the words that you speak

You think you’re in control

But you don’t understand how much you’re wrong

You choose to lash out at me, I’ve done nothing wrong

All you crave is attention and just to be loved

You need to be loved

And I want to be free

When my heart is made from gold

And forgiveness seems too bold

I still find it in my heart

To say «I love you»

When my heart is made from gold

And the hurt is just too bold

I still find it in my heart

To say «I love you»

Is there not enough to use your love for me

To get past the things that cause you envy and hate

And the fights that they bring

You say you’re looked on as small

Can’t understand why you don’t have it all

But you don’t know how I fight for you and believe in your aims

I just want to do right by you, forget what has changed

‘Cause nothing is changed

And I want to be free

When my heart is made from gold

And forgiveness seems too bold

I still find it in my heart

To say «I love you»

When my heart is made from gold

And the hurt is just too bold

I still find it in my heart

To say «I love you»

But you don’t have to be so mean

You’re such a drama queen

The way you play on every weakness that you see in me

To make you strong, you were all along

So don’t pretend like you can hardly breathe

Like it’s down to me

‘Cause it’s so unfair that you can’t suceed, boy you’re so wrong

We’re still so young

And I want to be free

When my heart is made from gold

And forgiveness seems too bold

I still find it in my heart

To say «I love you»

When my heart is made from gold

And the hurt is just too bold

As to find it in my heart

To say «I love you»
