Golden Jail

You gave me everything
The life I've ever dreamed of
The million dollar bills
You even play the man in love
the one I've been looking for

[chorus]
you had me on your own
and i'm thankful for all you've done
but i wouldn't stay a second more
cause it's a golden jail
and I can't take it no more

you gave me all those things
you tried to buy my love
and took it away from me
when I came to realise this wasn't you
you played the perfect guy
just like the other ones
i see that you like this game
well I can't go through this again
don't say you're sorry 'cause I know
you don't mean it
don't say you mean it when I know
you don't
i need a break, my heart is way to tired
to beat for another day

[chorus]
you had me on your own
and I could say I'm thankful
for what you've done
but I won't let it happen, never no
i've been in your golden jail for too long
and I won't take it no more

I wish i could believe you
Believe in your lies again
but i'm not gonna let you
play with my heart
i won't let let it happen
let's not fight about it
we both know the truth
"we" never had the same meaning
for me and you

[chorus]
you had me on your own (you had me)
and I could say I'm thankful
for what you've done (i won't, baby)
but I won't let it happen, never no
i've been in your golden jail for too long
now I can live on my own
