Spoken word
I really believed that you were solid gold
The speaker initially believed the person was genuine and valuable like solid gold.
Should've checked the goods to see it wasn't a fake that I was sold
Regrets not examining the person closely to realize they were fake or deceptive.
Should've taken my time, slowed down and waited
Expresses the need to have been more patient and careful in the relationship.
Coz at best, darling, you were only gold plated
Concludes that the person, at best, was only superficially valuable like gold plating, not genuine.
I was mistaken thinking this kind of gold was a limited resource
Mistakenly thought the person's value was scarce, but in reality, their remorse was limited.
The only thing limited about you was your fuckin' remorse
Highlights the lack of genuine remorse from the person.
To understand the complexities of you

There ought to be a course, coz that ain't something I was taught
Suggests a need for a course to comprehend the person's complexities, something not taught before.
I really believed that you were solid gold
Reiteration of the initial belief in the person's genuineness.
Should've checked the goods to see it wasn't a fake that I was sold

I should've taken my time, slowed down and waited
Reiterates the need for patience and careful consideration in the relationship.
Cause' at best, darling, you were only gold plated
Reaffirms that the person was, at best, only superficially valuable like gold plating.
I thought that you were where I placed my value
Mistakenly placed high value in the person, realizing later that the true value was in the lesson learned.
When actually the only thing I value is the lesson I learnt from you
Emphasizes that the lesson learned from the person is the only valuable aspect.
How hadn't I already learnt it was too good to be true
Expresses surprise at not having learned earlier that the person was too good to be true.
Wait till I find that 24 carat then I might pursue
Plans to wait for something genuine (24 carat) before pursuing further relationships.
I really believed that you were solid gold
Reiteration of the initial belief in the person's genuineness.
Should've checked the goods to see it wasn't a fake that I was sold

Coz at best, darling, you were only gold plated
