They thought it was sweet
Thought it was good
Said all the lines they thought I should

When did I change?
What had to die,
To make me a fake who lives a lie?


Say goodbye to everything I thought I knew


Cause all that glitters isn't gold
I got lost along the way
Saw the horizons with my soul

It's the price you have to pay
It's too high a price to pay


All of my dreams
All of my words
I didn't save one penny's worth

Traded my heart for shinier things
A little twist in my arm
And you'll know I'll sing


Say goodbye to everything I thought I knew


Cause all that glitters isn't gold
I got lost along the way
Saw the horizons with my soul

It's the price you have to pay

It's not who you are,

It's who you know
Empty your heart and the money flows
Just like glitter isn't gold

It's the price that you might pay
It's too high a price to pay


Bah, bah-bah-bah-bah,
Bah, bah-bah-bah-bah,
Bah-bah, bah-bah-bah-bah,

Bah, bah-bah-bah-bah,
Bah, bah, bah-bah-bah-bah, bah, bah,


Say goodbye to everything I thought I knew

Cause all that glitters isn't gold

I got lost along the way
Saw the horizons with my soul
It's the price you have to pay


It's not who you are,
It's who you know

Empty your heart and the money flows
Just like glitter isn't gold
It's the price that you might pay

It's too high a price

It's too high a price
