People don't hold the door
open for each other anymore
Everyone wants to have a say
all the listeners have gone away
We all want a piece of the pie
but we won't give sharing a try
We ask for the attention of others
When they take up our time we are quickly bothered
There's nothing wrong with going for gold
But if you keep it too close to your heart
your heart will turn cold
Sometimes people shut the door
when they think there's no room anymore
and they've heard other people say
those on the outside will take their things away
There's only so many pieces in a pie
and there is a limit to what we can try
and to what we can give to others
When they need more we don't wanna be bothered
There's nothing wrong with going for gold
But if you keep it too close to your heart
your heart will turn cold
I was blinded by the shine of the gold
Kept it close to my heart, and my heart turned cold
I had knocked over everyone that stood in my way
So there was no one left to share it with at the end of the day
There's nothing wrong with going for gold
But if you keep it too close to your heart
your heart will turn cold
