Golden Age
Ethel Cain Song Lyrics

And I don't wanna talk about love anymore, cause it's getting too much for me

All I do's waste and decline, waiting for that age of my life when I'm old and love is all that I'll need.

Swaying in the lamplight in my mother's white gown

Holding out like a dog they've yet to put down

I whore out my tears and just keep wasting the best of my years

Like a beauty queen with eyes bleared.

Got what I wanted but it's never enough

For me

Darling, don't you see

I'm so beautiful and it's wasted on me

Because the taste reminds me

I hate what love's turned out to be.

I don't wanna be in my house anymore cause it just makes me sad

Letting in the wild with every man who brings a world of hurt with him each time he falls in my bed.

Do you just want my blood

Am I just that damn hard to love

Cause it feels like all I have is still just not enough

I guess that I'll just go outside and watch the fire and fields of gold fly farther away from me.

Got what I wanted but it's never enough

For me

Darling, don't you see

I'm so beautiful and it's wasted on me

Because the taste reminds me

I hate what love's turned out to be.

But one of these days it'll come right back

I'll get over myself and I'll tell myself that

I don't have to wait to be happy when I'm old

And that one of these days I'll find a way

To fight the waves, embrace the pain

And paint the ages a hundred shades of gold

And of gold

And of gold

And of gold.

Got what I wanted but it's never enough

For me

Darling, don't you see

I'm so beautiful and it's wasted on me

Because the taste reminds me

I hate what love's turned out to be.

And I have found a way, I found a way, I'm on my way, I'm on my way

Don't wait too long I don't want you to get tired of me, but I'll be coming along

I'm coming along, I'll be coming along, I'll be coming along, I'll be coming along

I'll be coming, I'm coming for you.
