[Verse 1]
Mama always told me
That I was too naive
Gave away my trust for pennies
I said "Don't you worry."
Didn't think that I'd be
Broken down and crying
Help me
[Pre-Chorus]
Wrecked? Check
Heart? In debt
All you do is come around
Just came here to collect
Wrecked? Check
Heart? In debt
[Chorus]
Don't you know that
I cried tears of gold for you
I sit here poor for you
Collect my pennies and my dimes
That's why you love it when I cry
Platinum love for you
I'd give no less for you
Generosity's my enemy
So I'm broke and your heart's rich
Because of me
[Verse 2]
Know that this is my fault
Gave a little too much
Knew that this was gonna happen
But I'm not gonna lie
You can make me cry, thousand times
I come running back like
What is going on with my head?
[Pre-Chorus]
Wrecked? Check
Heart? In debt
All you do is come around
Just came here to collect
Wrecked? Check
Heart? In debt
[Chorus]
Don't you know that
I cried tears of gold for you
I sit here poor for you
Collect my pennies and my dimes
That's why you love it when I cry
Platinum love for you
I'd give no less for you
Generosity's my enemy
So I'm broke and your heart's rich
Because of me
[Bridge]
And the worst part is I'd do it all over again
The worst part is, I know it's never gonna end
I keep coming right back like a maniac
I keep coming right back like
And the worst part is I'd do it all over again
The worst part is, I know it's never gonna end
I keep coming right back like a maniac
[Chorus]
I cried tears of gold for you
I sit here poor for you
Collect my pennies and my dimes
That's why you love it when I cry
Platinum love for you
I'd give no less for you
Generosity's my enemy
So I'm broke and your heart's rich
Because of me

I remember this day so clearly. The day that I wrote the song I had been in sessions all summer every day. And I remember just being like, nothing that I’m writing is really clicking with me or connecting with me. I need to just have like one day off. And then I went home, took the day off and the n...
I remember I was humming to myself. And then Jay Mike was like, you’ll send me that, send me that voice recording. And then I sent it to him and he started playing chords and he kind of altered the voice to sound really warped and then all at once I just started “Tears of gold, don’t you know that I...
