Diamond Lies
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.
Do ya wanna be there?
Take a placebo
Square in the circle
But what does she know
Living every second as if it were the last
We could go up anytime 'cause life is a blast
I got a few moves
I dance like you do
Chew it up and spit it out
Start over again
Hang on for dear life
I'm not a DJ
They follow in droves
Wherever he goes
Whoa, oh, oh
You're more like a never was
More like there ever could be
What a sight for sore eyes
With your diamond lies
I gotta stop pretending
I can't take you now
Do ya wanna be there?
A clueless pseudo
You're not official
You wanna pull me
Living every second as if it were the last
We could go up anytime 'cause life is a blast
You try to haunt me
A little extra
Chew it up and spit it out
Start over again, 'gain
I got a few moves
I'm not a hero
Don't wanna be there
No, not like you do
Whoa, oh, oh
You're more like a never was
More like there ever could be
What a sight for sore eyes
With your diamond lies
I gotta stop pretending
I can't be that guy
What a sight for sore eyes
With your diamond lies
I gotta stop pretending
I can't be that guy
Gotta wash my hands of you
Before we disappear
My mind is growing hazy now
I can't be that guy
