Diamonds (Live at the Backyard)

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 tearstained sheets and your racing thoughts There's always strings left untied There's always one more last goodbye And this world will break you if you don't Allow your knees to hit the floor 'Cause stars ain't diamonds, 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 Dug her nails into my back But she pulled away by and by It's times like these I remember why 'Cause stars ain't diamonds, 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 Stars ain't diamonds, 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
