Golden lyrics

The fire used to burn, all the words used to hurt

But you're not like us, you are different

I couldn't see that that was a compliment

Cause the last thing I want now is to be you

And the flames don't feel as hot as they use to

Burn, burn, burn

They used to yell

You thought I was coal

My friend, I'm gold

Can't you tell?

Burn, burn, burn

They used to yell

You thought I was coal

My friend, I'm gold

Can't you tell?

Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am bold

And the fire you put me through turned me into gold

I'm not done, I'm no loser

Watch me take on my bright future

Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver

You'll be thinking, damn I knew her

But you didn't

Don't get it twisted

Out of the ashes you buried me in

I, I am golden

I, I am golden

You tried so hard to break me down

Like a fire-breathing dragon, but I guess I took your crown

You pushed for me to change for you

But I'm so glad that I stayed true to who I am

Burn, burn, burn

They used to yell

You thought I was coal

My friend, I'm gold

Can't you tell?

Burn, burn, burn

They used to yell

You thought I was coal

My friend, I'm gold

Can't you tell?

Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am bold

And the fire you put me through turned me into gold

I'm not done, I'm no loser

Watch me take on my bright future

Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver

You'll be thinking, damn I knew her

But you didn't

Don't get it twisted

Out of the ashes you buried me in

I, I am golden

I, I am golden

The fire that you tried to burn me with, it made me who I am

All the things that you said I couldn't do

Guess what, Yes I can

The fire that you tried to burn me with, it made me who I am

All the things that you said I couldn't do

Guess what, Yes I can

Cause I'm not weak, I'm not broken I am bold

And the fire you put me through turned me into gold

I'm not done, I'm no loser

Watch me take on my bright future

Tonight I'm no bronze I'm no silver

You'll be thinking damn I knew her

But you didn't

Don't get it twisted

Out of the ashes you buried me in

I, I am golden

I, I am golden, golden, gold

I, I am golden, golden, go-olden
