all that glitters (is not gold)

Flashing lights and a perfect smile
Yeah, you've been running in that fast lane for a while
Designer clothes, sitting on a throne
But you're staring at a screen, completely alone
They all want the life that you display
But they don't see the price you had to pay

'Cause all that glitters is not gold
Don't believe everything that you've been told
A polished diamond can still be cold
Yeah, all that glitters is not gold
No, it ain't gold

Filters on the camera, hiding all the tears
Living for the validation, feeding on the fears
You built a castle made of glass and chrome
But a house full of riches isn't always a home
You're chasing a shadow, running out of time
Trying to convince yourself that you're doing fine

'Cause all that glitters is not gold
Don't believe everything that you've been told
A polished diamond can still be cold
Yeah, all that glitters is not gold

Strip away the neon, turn down the sound
What are you left with when it all comes down?
You can't buy a soul, you can't rent a heart
It's time to stop acting and find who you are

'Cause all that glitters is not gold
Don't believe everything that you've been told
A polished diamond can still be cold
Yeah, all that glitters is not gold

Just a cheap reflection
Looking for affection
Yeah, all that glitters is not gold
