Verse 1

If you could see my thoughts

Then maybe I wouldn't be alone

I actually never really thought

That this was already the end

Tell me, is it mutual

When I'm scared to be alone

Maybe I loved you too soon

I thought it would work

Chorus 1

I hadn't imagined it like this either

Know you don't fit with me

I've tried it so many times

And I wish it were different

Chorus 1

I believed in it so hard

And I know you did too

Chorus 1

Then you came with the blow

Maybe it's better this way

But we were golden though

Tell me, what if I can never forget you

Now suddenly you're gone

But it still doesn't feel like I can do this

Chorus 1

You think it's easy or what

You haunt my head 'cause I still believe in us

But we were golden though

Tell me, what if I can never forget you

What if I can never forget you

Verse 2

We stay silent all day

You wanna talk again, all night

Verse 2

Just when I think we're getting better

We're once again the house with the lights on

On off on off, we go for it

Black screen, the fuses blow again

And all that time I still had hope

We'd promised it, right?

Chorus 2

I hadn't imagined it like this either

Know you don't fit with me

I've tried it so many times

And I wish it were different

Chorus 2

I believed in it so hard

And I know you did too

Chorus 2

Then you came with the blow

Maybe it's better this way

But we were golden though

Tell me, what if I can never forget you

Now suddenly you're gone

But it still doesn't feel like I can do this

Chorus 2

You think it's easy or what

You haunt my head 'cause I still believe in us

But we were golden though

Tell me, what if I can never forget you

What if I can never forget you

Bridge

What if I can't do this alone anymore?

What if I can never forget you

If only you'd stayed a bit longer then

Chorus 3

But we were golden though

Tell me, what if I can never forget you

Can never forget

Chorus 3

Now suddenly you're gone

But it still doesn't feel like I can do this

Chorus 3

You think it's easy or what

You haunt my head

Because I still believe in us

Chorus 3

But we were golden though

Tell me, what if I can never forget you

What if I can never forget you

SONG MEANING

“Goud” – which literally means “Gold” in Dutch – is a bittersweet postcard from the moment when a once-brilliant relationship begins to rust. Suzan & Freek sing from the perspective of someone replaying every memory in their mind, wondering where things went wrong. The narrator admits they fell in love quickly, believed the partnership would work, and even though the couple no longer fits together, the question keeps echoing: “But we were gold, right?” That shiny metaphor captures both the value of what they shared and the painful disbelief that it could ever break.

Throughout the song we hear a mix of desperation and nostalgia: sleepless nights, lights switching on and off, hope switching on and off, and the haunting fear of never being able to forget the other person. It is a relatable portrait of overthinking after a breakup – wanting to move on, yet still picturing the two of you as something precious. “Goud” reminds learners that even the brightest love stories can end, but the memories stay glowing in our minds.
