Diamonds For Tears

In these days of manmade wonders

We still bicker over flies

When you come seeking for forgiveness

I'll be forced to choose my side

If I deny you what you're searching

Do I do it out of fear?

Am I ruling out my reason

Killing that which I hold dear?



Out of my way I'm running

With an excuse just underway

Reality is so daunting

And I've got no way to explain



'Cos when you're sleeping right next to me

I know you're the one

So when I hear you calling my name

Why do I turn away and run?

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds

Sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds

Diamonds for tears



In the light of recent findings

There's no greater taint than grace

But to relinquish all our bindings

Always finds us out of place

If I rested here a while more

Would you hold me to your heart?

If I knew what it was meant for

Would I know to play my part



Out of my way I'm leaving

Another excuse before I'll stay

Reality is applauding

I know I don't know the right way



'Cos when you're sleeping right next to me

I know you're the one

So when I hear you calling my name

Yeah, I know you're the one

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds

Sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds

Diamonds for tears



Is it a lost cause?

Can we overlook this taint?

Are these taint laws?

Like a doubt eating the saint

I know I fear these shackles

Like my darkness closing in

I will hold out my hands

I will hold out my hands



'Cos when you're sleeping right next to me

I know you're the one

So when I hear you calling my name

I'll know the good I've done

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds

Sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds



'Cos when you're sleeping right next to me

I know you're the one

So when I hear you calling my name

I'll know the good I've done

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds

Sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds

Diamonds for tears
