Lyrics for Heart of Gold

I can be strong when I want to be You think I'm weak 'cause you can tear me apart with the words that you speak You think you're in control But you don't understand how much you're wrong You choose to lash out at me, I've done nothing wrong All you crave is attention and just to be loved You need to be loved And I want to be free When my heart is made from gold And forgiveness seems too bold I still find it in my heart To say "I love you" When my heart is made from gold And the hurt is just too bold I still find it in my heart To say "I love you" Is there not enough to use your love for me To get past the things that cause you envy and hate And the fights that they bring You say you're looked on as small Can't understand why you don't have it all But you don't know how I fight for you and believe in your aims I just want to do right by you, forget what has changed 'Cause nothing is changed And I want to be free When my heart is made from gold And forgiveness seems too bold I still find it in my heart To say "I love you" When my heart is made from gold And the hurt is just too bold I still find it in my heart To say "I love you" But you don't have to be so mean You're such a drama queen The way you play on every weakness that you see in me To make you strong, you were all along So don't pretend like you can hardly breathe Like it's down to me 'Cause it's so unfair that you can't suceed, boy you're so wrong We're still so young And I want to be free When my heart is made from gold And forgiveness seems too bold I still find it in my heart To say "I love you" When my heart is made from gold And the hurt is just too bold As to find it in my heart To say "I love you"
