Lyrics

Ha! Golden, golden, golden as I open my eyes Hold it, focus, hoping, take me back to the light I know you were way too bright for me I'm hopeless, broken, so you wait for me in the sky Brown my skin just right You're so golden You're so golden I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared Because hearts get broken I don't wanna be alone I don't wanna be alone when it ends Don't wanna let you know I don't wanna be alone But I, I can feel it take a hold (I can feel it take a hold) I can feel you take control (I can feel you take control) Of who I am, and all I've ever known Lovin' is the antidote Golden You're so golden I don't wanna be alone You're so golden You're so golden I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared Because hearts get broken I know that you're scared because I'm so open You're so golden I don't wanna be alone You're so golden You're so golden You're so golden I'm out of my head, and I know that you're scared Because hearts get broken
