Gold plated

Lyrics

[Intro - whispered, reverb] She ain't love me She loved the light on me (gold plated...) [Hook - sung, hypnotic, layered harmonies] She was gold plated, I was faded Gave her everything, she still traded Diamonds on her neck, but the heart ain't real Poppin' somethin' just so I don't feel Gold plated, I was faded Thought it was love, she just waited For the money, not the man Now I'm numb with the pills in my hand [Verse 1 - rap, low and cold] She was bad, she knew it, walked in like she owned it Told me that she loved me, I believed it, I was hopeless Bought her Louis, bought her Prada, bought her everything she wanted Every time my pockets thinned, I watched the love go dormant She ain't never ask me how I'm doin', only what I'm spendin' Kissin' on my neck while she was textin' who she's bendin' I was blind, I was high, I was buyin' her the lie Now I'm starin' at the ceiling with the money and the high [Pre-Hook - sung, soft] And the bottle's almost empty And the bed is cold Funny how the realest thing she gave me Was a heart of fool's gold [Hook - sung, hypnotic, layered harmonies] She was gold plated, I was faded Gave her everything, she still traded Diamonds on her neck, but the heart ain't real Poppin' somethin' just so I don't feel Gold plated, I was faded Thought it was love, she just waited For the money, not the man Now I'm numb with the pills in my hand [Verse 2 - rap, building] Now I see her on the 'Gram with a new man and a new car Same smile that she gave me when I bought her that new bar And I'm laughin' 'cause it's funny how they never really love you Just the version with the bands, not the broken one above you Pill to wake up, pill to sleep, pill to stop the shakin' Swear these drugs the only thing that never left me achin' But they lyin' too, they just a slower kind of leavin' Every high's a gold digger, takin' more than what it's givin' [Beat Switch - 808s drop out, then slam back, distorted] I ain't mad at you, I'm mad I let it happen Mad I traded my soul for a girl and a fashion Mad I'm chasin' highs like I chased you, baby Both of y'all took everything and both of y'all ain't save me [Bridge - sung, stripped, guitar only] If it glitters, it ain't gold If it's free, then it ain't love If it numbs, it ain't healin' I been learnin' that too much [Final Hook - bigger, double-tracked, whispered ad-libs] She was gold plated, I was faded Gave her everything, she still traded Diamonds on her neck, but the heart ain't real I'm done poppin' just so I don't feel Gold plated, I was jaded Thought it was love, she just waited For the money, not the man Now I'm learnin' who I am [Outro - whispered, fading] If it glitters It ain't gold (gold plated...) [End]
