Lyrics
Diamond
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I want to be the one
I don’t ever want to be set free
I don’t need to see the sun
Lock me up and throw away the key
There laying in the stones buried
With the bones, a diamond in the rough
You told me it was true, staring back
And you now, I can’t get enough
I don’t mind being tossed around
Be your play thing, be your doll
I don’t need to hear a sound
Just your heart once and awhile
There laying in the stones, buried
With the bones, a diamond in the rough
You told me it was true, staring back
And you, now I can’t get enough
I want to take you home
And feel this way every day
I can’t do it on my own
I’d do anything just to make you stay
I don’t need to see the sun
Lock me up and throw away the key
There laying in the stones laying
With the bones, a diamond in the rough
You told me it was true, staring back
And you now, I can’t get enough
