I-I am a diamond and I cannot be broken

I-I am a diamond and I cannot be broken

Mother please don't cry for me

I rolled the dice

Just give it some time

If you could just be kind

To me

'cuz I don't care

The life I waste is

Mine

It don't mean much in the grand scheme

I've given up and given

Everything

Chorus:

It's worth repeating

Over again

I'll keep my head up and swallow my pride

Again

I'll give it away

Again

It's been dead so long it can't die there

Again

I-I am a diamond and I cannot be broken

I-I am a diamond and I cannot be broken

Mother mine's a foolish game

But

The same could be said

Said about yours

He took your youth and he took your name

What did YOUR journey here ensure?

(chorus)

Bridge:

I'm all grown up

I've got my pride

Why let me live

To let me die?

I'm all grown up now

I've got my pride

Let me live

Let me die

(chorus)

I-I am a diamond and I cannot be broken

I-I am a diamond and I cannot be broken

You're a diamond too

I was cut from you
