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
