Diamonds

Joshua Radin


My, my, how you've grown
Did it all on your own
I knew that you could, now
All the tears dried away
Somehow to different shape

That changed into diamonds
Diamonds and pearls
Made yourself into one of those girls
That makes your own diamonds
Bright diamonds and pearls
Now you're shining as you whirl
Into the light

I've always known
So easy to see
You could be my new morning
All that you are
Beautiful scars
That sing the tale of a coffin's nail
From long ago

So when the night, it seems your last
Just think back on your past
It's buried and gone now
All the lies you were told
That seem to strip away your soul

That changed into diamonds
Diamonds and pearls
And made yourself into one of those girls
That makes your own diamonds
Bright diamonds and pearls
Now you're shining as you whirl
Into the light

I've always known
So easy to see
You could be my new morning
All that you are
Beautiful scars
That sing the tale of a coffin's nail
From long ago

I know what you're thinking
How could I believe this from the start?
When I heard you say
Everything was sinking
And everyone was tearing you apart
I still saw a way

I've always known
So easy to see
You could be my new morning
All that you are
Beautiful scars
That sing the tale of a coffin's nail
From long ago
