Diamond Lives

I won't back down cause I know that I've found a way (a way)
Back home from bad ground and I wanna be on my own, alone, alone
I don't wanna be bound anymore to compounds that are harder than hearts and brains I'm shaken but sound, it's another one down with a better one on its way.

I gave more than I ever knew when I cut myself in two for you I paved my own dead end
And drove right through

I thought you were the only one
And I became a part of you then
So we could lead our diamond lives
I thought it was the only way we'd stand

But baby they were diamond lies
And still the only part of me you'd bear maybe it was all my fault
But I'm so alive without you there

I won't hang my head I don't wanna give all that space away I'll save it instead now I know that I'm fine alone, alone, alone

I don't wanna be bound anymore to compounds that are harder than hearts and brains I'm shaken but sound, it's another thing down with a better one on its way.

I left myself behind someplace
I looked to you, you filled the space and when I came around
You couldn't stand it

I thought you were the only one
And I became a part of you then
So we could lead our diamond lives
I thought it was the only way we'd stand

But baby they were diamond lies
And still the only part of me you'd bear maybe it was all my fault
But I'm so alive without you there

You and I
Always a one way compromise

When the weight upon our shoulders grew to great it all became mine

And I am so ashamed
Of who I became
Waiting for something to change it

Never again never, ever again

I thought you were the only one
And I became a part of you then
So we could lead our diamond lives
I thought it was the only way we'd stand

But baby they were diamond lies
And still the only part of me you'd bear maybe it was all my fault
But I'm so alive without you there
