Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Lately, I've been slipping away from you
Can you tell me, does it hurt today?
Yeah, there's no way, yeah
To burn, there's no flames, yeah
[Verse 2]
Praying nine to five like a saint for you
Can you tell me how it turned this way
Yeah, things have changed, yeah
Yeah, filled with rage, yeah
[Chorus]
So lost in these diamonds
So lost in this paradise
Don't speed on that highway
We need you to shine bright
When life gets too complicated
Will you stand with me after dark?
I will stay in the limelight
Like a beautiful afterthought
Like a beautiful afterthought
[Verse 3]
Sometimes, you'd ask me for something different
Hated when you did it, I wish that you didn't
I would do things and you'd get annoyed
I should've never done them, I wish I was different
[Verse 4]
Why do we have to step away now?
It's been a year, been a couple days now
Since you called me, saying you're worried
Been hard for me dealing with this space now
No company, wishing we could sit down
'Cause I'm sorry, but you don't want me
[Chorus]
So lost in these diamonds
So lost in this paradise
Don't speed on that highway
We need you to shine bright
When life gets too complicated
Will you stand with me after dark?
I will stay in the limelight
Like a beautiful afterthought
Like a beautiful afterthought
[Outro]
I don't wanna forget about you
I don't wanna forget about you, oh
I don't wanna forget about you
I don't wanna think about it
Think about it
