Cause I know diamonds aren't the only thing that shines And I know love can make the darkness sing
I throw myself out my own house, couldn't stop myself so I just walked out Huh, almost did it again, spoke too soon, called a couple of friends Blood boiled over, I'll be cool in a minute, kicked a few things That's enough are you finished, heart in hand, calm as I walk in the door Hold my breath when I let out a roar, even good men need a little grace Put the world down and I pick up faith, only scared boys try to save face Pride in the mouth, it's a bitter taste, spit it out Don't want it, Don't need it, put it down and I just leave it But I keep hearing it talk to me, knows what I'm thinking like its on to me Hold my breath when its hard to breathe
Cause I know diamonds aren't the only thing that shines And I know love can make the darkness sing
I need a stronger tower, will power, no coward Take back the flowers, sold the casket My soul's established, found a passage Strike the matches, light my black and white the sky Wipe my fears, redeem the time The bathroom mirror, I'm eye to eye Look inside my soul and try to talk to the guy if he's still alive Pinch myself, try not to cry, walkin' by the sea of a great divide Left my print, I still survived, is this the one?! My time is now, my moment jump and leave the crowd Walking with a king, I'm tall and proud Standing reborn, got the victors crown
Cause I know diamonds aren't the only thing that shines And I know love can make the darkness sing
I no longer have to wait for the spark that covers me Its a stand for me to take, it's not a wand that we can wave Its the faith like a child that counts when I try to do what I think I feel is right But it's never been something I control Its so hard to commit when I don't know Its the faith like a child that counts when I try to do what I think I feel is right But it's never been something I control Its so hard to commit when I don't know
Cause I know diamonds aren't the only thing that shines And I know love can make the darkness sing
