Kingswood, Seth Taylor - Heartbreak Ain't Gold lyrics

My hometown is blowin' up
Batteries run the pick-up trucks
Kids ain't kids, no make believe
Dreams replaced by smoke machines
Love is lost around the place
I can see it on my brother's face
And everyone's got every claim
But we all know we rot the same

We all know we rot the same
We all know we rot the same

Now frequently the girls are marked
By dragonflies and jaguars
And boys ain't men, they just some boys
With more concern for each others' toys
And while I watch the world spin round
What's absurd in my hometown
Is we all live like we don't die
Yet no one knows any lullabies

Tears ain't pennies and heartbreak ain't gold
But in twenty years of lovin' I
Keep tryna break the mould you may disagree
Darling, don't you see? I believe I believe

Gone again, I'm treadin' slow
While thinking how to best forego
Everything that keeps me down
And kills the love in my hometown
There you are with your book of words
Spoutin' like a hummingbird
And now we know that we all die
So best to keep a weather eye

Tears ain't pennies and heartbreak ain't gold
But in twenty years of lovin' I
Keep tryna break the mould you may disagree
Darling, don't you see? I believe I believe

Tears ain't pennies and heartbreak ain't gold
But in twenty years of lovin' I
Keep tryna break the mould you may disagree
Darling, don't you see? I believe I believe
