Diamonds

Don't you tell me
That you don't know
How it burns
To cry alone

When the sunset fades
And all you've got
Are the tear-stained sheets
And your racing thoughts

There's always straights
Left untied
There's always one more
Last goodbye

And this world will break you
If you don't (if you don't)
Allow your knees
To hit the floor

The stars ain't diamonds
And rain ain't tears
And love don't last
A thousand years

We build our walls
We lock our gates
But we'll all be
In the dirt, someday

And I knew this dancer
Dressed all in black
And dug her nails
Into my back

But she pulled away
By and by
It's times like these
I remember why

The stars ain't diamonds
And rain ain't tears
And love don't last
A thousand years

We build our walls
We lock our gates
But we'll all be
In the dirt, someday

The stars ain't diamonds
And rain ain't tears
And love don't last
A hundred thousand years

We build our walls
We lock our gates
But we'll all be
In the dirt, someday
We'll all be
In the dirt, someday
