Your eyes have sunk too far away
(and they keep sinking)
For me to ever save you
(and now you're too far)
Why are my words so hard to take?
(I know you hear me)
You should have seen this coming
(I know you're not mine)

We wasted everything [x3]
(I feel it's time now)
So now its time to waste it all away

(repeat: nothing gold can stay)
So take your life and make your plans
Cause nothing new from this begins
So watch your back
Cause I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you
(end repeat)

In time to save this broken day
(before it's too late)
I cut my losses away
(I'm so glad you're gone)
I cast you off to the side
(and I'll forget)
As if you never mattered at all
(you never did)

We wasted everything [x3]
(I feel it's time now)
So now its time to waste it all away

(repeat: Nothing gold can stay)
So take your life and make your plans
Cause nothing new from this begins
So watch your back
Cause I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you
(end repeat)

So take your life and make your plans
Cause nothing new from this begins
So watch your back
Cause I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you

(repeat: nothing gold can stay)

So take your life and make your plans
Cause nothing new from this begins
So watch your back
Cause I'm coming after you
I'm coming after you

[x3 repeat:] We've got the rest of our lives
