[Intro] (mmm… mmm…) [Verse 1] I laid the whole week on the fire Watched it curl, catch , then go The things I thought I needed burning Faster than I thought they'd go [Verse 2] Pride went first, then my excuses Then the story I kept telling myself The smoke was thick with who I wasn't By Sunday morning nothing left [Chorus] Everything that isn't gold Burns off by Sunday morning Everything that isn't true Can't survive the week's returning I didn't lose what left me I only lost the burden Everything that isn't gold Burns off by Sunday morning [Verse 3] The fire doesn't hate the iron It just knows what iron can become You have to let the dross go somewhere Before the real work can be done [Chorus] Everything that isn't gold Burns off by Sunday morning Everything that isn't true Can't survive the week's returning I didn't lose what left me I only lost the burden Everything that isn't gold Burns off by Sunday morning [Bridge] (let it burn… let it burn…) What stays is what the fire frees [Outro] (mmm…) Gold by morning Gold by morning
