I grew tired of carrying the harm in heart
So I open up my heart to let it in
Ooh, ooh, let it in
So I lay my body down on a funeral pyre
Burned it up and the flames grew high
Ooh, ooh, what remains
Chorus:
Funny how when you find what you're looking for
It was already there
I don't know why
The simple things hide
The bright shining light
That was and always has been you

I fell in love with the tarnished gold
That's what remains when the ashes turn cold
Ooh, ooh, tarnished gold
Chorus:
Funny how when you fond what you're looking for
It was already there
I don't know why
The simple things hide
The bright shining light
That was and always has been you
Don't cry, the joy's in remembering
What you have always been
