Heart of gold To selfless To keep the riches to myself Voluntarily shared the wealth But most were taking in the form of theft I use to be filled to the brim Gold coins overflowing out of the chest Now when I look inside it There’s hardly any left I felt each piece that was taken Never to be returned Maybe I should shut the lid But that’s a lesson I haven’t learned My heart is to big not to share So the lid stays open Even if there’s a risk another gold piece may be stolen

Rescue me from myself
Heart of gold To selfless To keep the riches to myself Voluntarily shared the wealth But most were taking in the form of theft I use to be filled to the brim Gold coins overflowing out of the chest Now when I look inside it There’s hardly any left I felt each piece that was taken Never to be returned Maybe I should shut the lid But that’s a lesson I haven’t learned My heart is to big not to share So the lid stays open Even if there’s a risk another gold piece may be stolen
