Fool's Gold from Discontentment by Joshua Arthur Tison
When the heart break — if it tears you up. Let it be. The words don’t mean a thing, and neither does anything really. Have a walk, lay beneath the stars, something that won’t jeopardize any future. It all has the future, but surely define what jeopardy means if anything , first off. If you can’t find means of a definitive, well even then you’re not too far off from a healthy future coming.

Lyrics
I’m ashamed — ashamed of my ways
If I’d stay, I’d stay and hang
Cause I gave that gal everything I had
But a fools gold never lasts
Tomorrow I’m gonna get my bag
And know I ain’t coming back
Cause I gave that gal everything I had
But a fool’s gold never lasts
This eve what she left behind
Gonna see it burn in that fire
Cause I gave that gal everything I had
But a fool’s gold never lasts
I’m ashamed — ashamed of my ways
But I’ll take — take it to my grave
Credits
I began writing this song in Middleburg, Florida. Moments later, I was picked up by a dear friend. By the end of the car ride, he had committed to leaving Florida with me, bound for the west coast. I didn’t finish the song until maybe a week later (some time after I placed my feet in Utah soil).
I’ve tried to be with a partner for some time, with promise of forever and a day, such a promise was made by both of us. She abused me without intent, to my understanding. Although I tried to stay steadfast in loving that partner forever and a day, it seems now that I’m alone, and they are gone, and no longer in contact, I never wanted to give more than ‘forever and a day’. My heart did not belong to them, it was mine, and I am still unsure of how I can give someone anything more.
