In this heartfelt ballad, One Direction delves into the complexities of unrequited love and emotional vulnerability. The lyrics depict a relationship where one party is fully aware that their affection is not reciprocated with genuine love. Despite recognizing that they are being used and that the other's charm is superficial, they cannot help but fall deeper in love. The metaphor of "fool's gold" symbolizes something that appears valuable on the surface but lacks true worth underneath. Ultimately, the song captures the bittersweet experience of loving someone who will never truly be theirs, yet finding it impossible to walk away from the allure.
Fool's Gold
Lyrics
I'm like a crow on a wire
You're the shining distraction that makes me fly home
I'm like a boat on the water
You're the raise on the waves that calm my mind
Oh, every time
But I know in my heart, you're not a constant star
And yeah, I've let you use me from that day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret
Falling for you
Fool's gold
I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless
I get lost in your beauty and I can't see
Two feet in front of me
And I know in my heart, you're just a moving part
And yeah I've let you use me from that day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret
Falling for you
Fool's gold
Oh, oh-ooh
Yeah, I know your love's not real
That's not the way it feels
That's not the way you feel
And yes I've let you use me from that day that we first met
But I'm not done yet
Falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that you turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret
Falling for you
Fool's gold
Oh, oh-ooh
Oh, oh-ooh
