Fool's Gold Lyrics

[Niall]
I'm like a crow on a wire
You're the shining distraction that makes me fly
I'm like a boat on the water
You're the rays on the waves that calm my mind
Oh, every time

[Harry]
And I know in my heart
You're not a constant star

And yeah I let you use me
From the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that
You would turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret falling for you
Fool's gold

[Liam]
I'm the first to admit that I'm reckless
I get lost in your beauty and I can't see
Two feet in front of me

[Louis]
And I know in my heart
You're just a moving part

[Harry]
And yeah I let you use me
From the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that
You would turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret falling for you
Fool's gold

[Zayn]
Yeah I know your loves not real
That's not the way it feels
That's not the way you feel

[Harry]
And yeah I let you use me
From the day that we first met
But I'm not done yet falling for you
Fool's gold
And I knew that
You would turn it on for everyone you met
But I don't regret falling for you
Fool's gold

Cover art for Fool's Gold lyrics by One Direction

This song is about someone that isn't in love with the singer. He is totally, completely in love with her, but she doesn't feel the same way and the boy knows that. Even though she pretends to feel this love, it's clear that she's the same around everyone, but he can't help but feel as if she's the one, and can't let go of her.

My Interpretation

I feel like this song is about a singer being in love with a girl but the girl doesn't like him, she just pretends and the guy knows. But he doesn't regret falling for her and he knows that she would tell her friends everything, "you would turn it on for everyone you met"

My Interpretation

@Jessicasolorio it could be a guy hes singing about. not making assumptions here

i think its about the writer loving someone, but they only loved them for a short time, or 'used them'.

My Interpretation

@florencewillow the title perhaps suggests that they loved someone but we're fooled into what love was, or that their love was not reciprocated (or only falsely reciprocated). That is, similar to fool's gold .... looks like gold, feels like gold, but it is not (now interchange the term gold with love).

Makes me think about this girl I know. I really like her but the chances of me ending up with her are slim. I keep thinking about giving up on the dream but I won't be able to face the regret associated with failure. She doesn't mirror the same feelings towards me. Even if I don't end up with her, I still won't regret meeting her because she is still one of the best things that have showed up in my life.
