Annette Lee - Gold Lyrics

I used to tell myself I'm a mere mistake
Nothing more than a waste of space
Who needs a foe when I was
Beating myself, beating myself up

But then one day you found me out
Your discovery was mine as well
It hit me like a shovel in the ground

Chorus
I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know that I was gold
Until you found me

I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know that I was gold
Until you found me

I used to dig myself in a pity hole
Guilt would drag me right over coals
Who needs the devil when I was
My own worst, my own worst enemy

But then one day you found me out
Your discovery was mine as well
It hit me like a shovel in the ground

I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know that I was gold
Until you found me

I didn't know
I didn't know
I didn't know that I was gold
Until you found me

You risked all you had
Travelled the seas
With faith on your back
No guarantees
How is it that I never knew
That I was worth a treasure?
