[Verse 1]
I'll be leaving with the coffin open
Tell your mother she could sleep inside
I never really meant to hurt you
I never thought that I could make you cry
Come on, won't you leave with me
Tell your mother to dry her eyes
Nobody wants to hold your hand
Nobody's gonna understand

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh you know better
I know better
Oh you know better

[Chorus]
And I know you've got a heart of gold
Keep it away from the door, oh the bitter ones
You've got a heart of gold
I wanted nothing more
I can't give up, give up

[Verse 2]
She'll be coming with the shotgun on me
Hell could only be a break from this
Everybody has a word for you
Nobody wants to listen
Go on and take your steps from me
Tell your mother you can leave me now
Nobody wants to hold my hand
Nobody's gonna understand that
[Chorus]
You've got a heart of gold
Keep it away from the door, oh the bitter ones
You've got a heart of gold
I wanted nothing more
I can't give up, give up

[Bridge] X10
I found my way back, but no one's waiting for me

[Chorus]
You've got a heart of gold
Keep it away from the door, oh the bitter ones
You've got a heart of gold
I wanted nothing more
I can't give up, give up
I can't give up, give up
I can't, I can't give up
