Fool's Gold Lyrics

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).
