I never thought i’d pay so dearly
For what i thought i had, but now i know it clearly
Don’t put yourself down, hey desperado
Heaven help the one, cruising el dorado
Looking through some photos and how it used to be
Remember there’s just a trace of sorrow
Things i couldn’t see but know i know, nothing's guaranteed
Compassion i can’t borrow

They saw the end, we put it back together
Starting to believe it’s true

Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Caught between the truth and the trust
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

We face the moment, belief is betrayed
Broken hearts and victims on a judgement day
Feeling insecure, there dreaming of the past
Tears will fall and the heart beating too fast
Careful words cast off with cautious tones
How they haunt us till the end
So it goes the choice was mine and mine alone
Don’t ask me to pretend

No make believe, you thought it was forever
Now you know that gold is for fools

Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Caught between the truth and the trust
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

The closer you get to the fire
make believe, you thought it was forever
Now you know that gold is for fools, golds for fools
Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Now caught between
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Caught between the truth and the trust
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned

Caught between the truth and the trust
Lived long enough you’d think i’d learn
Caught between the truth and the trust
The closer you get to the fire, the more you get burned
