Never see a big church steeple, when I call you on the phone 
 Never feel the rush of angels, when we stay up late alone 
 Never whisper you a great love story, only scream and cry and moan 
 But you're a good man, but you're a good man 
 I keep telling myself to just let go 
 Let go of the one who took all your gold 
    I get home and there's a love note waiting 
 But only he is here tonight 
 And the words, the promises you're making 
 Only echo all his lies 
 And for every sweet nothing you whisper 
 Why is goodbye my reply? 
 'Cause you're a good man, cause you're a good man 
 I keep telling myself to just let go   
 There was someone that I knew before 
 A heart from the past that I cannot forget 
 I let him take all my gold and hurt me so bad 
 That now for you, I have nothing left of all my gold   
 A ghost from the past has turned my heart black 
 Am I ever gonna let him go? And get my gold back? 
 And today I was a dead girl walking, city lights burnt through the tears 
 Heard you say my name and get to talking about the love and all the fear 
 And you saw all the pain I was holding, and yet still you hold me near 
 'Cause you're a good man, cause you're a good man 
 I keep telling myself to just let go   
 There was someone that I knew before 
 A heart from the past that I cannot forget 
 I let him take all my gold and hurt me so bad 
 That now for you, I have nothing left   
 'Cause there was someone that I knew before 
 A heart from the past that I cannot forget 
 I let him take all my gold and hurt me so bad 
 That now for you, I have nothing left 
 Of all my gold
