[Hook + Interlude]
Teenage dreams in a teenage circus
Running around like a clown on purpose
Who gives a damn about the family you come from
No giving up when you're young and you want some
Running around again (running around again)
Running for money
Running around again (running around again)
Running for money
[Verse 1]
Waking up in the midday sun, what's to live for
When you could see what I've done?
Staring at emotion in the light of day
I was smiling at the things that you say
[Bridge]
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
[Hook + Interlude]
[Verse 2]
I was a boy at an open door, why you staring?
Do you still think that you know?
Looking for treasure in the things that you threw
Like a magpie, I live for glitter not you
[Bridge]
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
Now I'm sitting alone, I'm finally looking around
Left here on my own, I'm gonna hurt myself
Maybe losing my mind, I'm still wondering why
I had to let the world - let it bleed me dry
[Interlude 2]
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
[Hook + Interlude x2]
We are not what you think we are
We are golden, we are golden
