Dark Diamond lyrics

Oh, I'm a dark diamond

I've turned hard and cold

Once was a jewel with fire in my soul

There's two sides of a mirror

One I couldn't break through

Stayed trapped on the inside, wound up losing you

Tell me how does it work

How do you make things fit

Spent all my life trying to get it right

I've put it together and it falls apart

I thought to myself I might understand

But when the wall's built

And the heart hardens

You get a dark diamond

Dark diamond

Oh, I'm a dark diamond

But you're something else

You read me more than I read myself

The one star I could count on

Only comet I could trust

You burnt through my life to the true meaning of love

Tell me how does it work

How do you make things fit

Spent all my life trying to get it right

I've put it together and it falls apart

I thought to myself I might understand

But when the wall's built

And the heart hardens

You get a dark diamond

Dark diamond

Tell me how does it work

How do you make things fit

Spent all my life trying to get it right

I've put it together and it falls apart

I thought to myself I might understand

But when the wall's built

And the heart hardens

You get a dark diamond

Dark diamond
