Intro: Never see the big church steeple when I call you on the phone Never feel the rush of angels, when we stay up late alone Never whisper you a great love story, only scream and cry and moan But you're a good man, but you're a good man I keep telling myself to just let go Oh, let go of the one who took all your gold I get home and there's a love note waiting but only he is here tonight And the words, the promises you're making only echo all these lies And for every sweet nothing you whisper why is goodbye my reply? 'Cos you're a good man, 'cos you're a good man I keep telling myself to just let go There was someone that I knew before A heart from the past that I cannot forget I let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad But now for you, I have nothing left of all my gold (something I can't understand) Turn my heart black I ever gonna let him go? Get my gold back And today I was a dead girl walking, see the light burn through tears Heard you say my name and get to talking of the love and all the fears And you saw all the pain I was holding, and yet still you'd hold me near 'Cos you're a good man, 'cos you're a good man, I keep telling myself to just let go There was someone that I knew before A heart from the past that I cannot forget I let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad But now for you, I have nothing left of all my gold There was someone that I knew before A heart from the past that I cannot forget I let him take all my gold, and hurt me so bad But now for you, I have nothing left of all my gold
