Diamonds in the Dirt Songtext

von Joanne Shaw Taylor

THE ONLY LESSON THAT I LEARNED IN LOVE
WAS A HARD ONE AND I TOOK IT AND I
MISUNDERSTOOD
EVERY TIME I STOKE THE FIRES THE SAME
BUT I KNOW NOW THAT A SPARKS NOT
ALWAYS A FLAME

YOU BUILT YOUR WALLS,
YOU BUILT THEM TO LAST
SEALED AND SURROUNDED
BY A HEART OF GLASS
MAYBE I WAS WRONG
TO LET YOU UNDER MY SKIN
MAYBE I'M GOING DOWN FOR A WAR
THAT I NEVER COULD WIN

WHO'S TO SAY
GOOD LOVE FADES TO DUST
WHO'S TO SAY
ALL HEARTS LEARN TO LUST
WHO'S TO SAY
HEALING HAS TO HURT
WHO'S TO SAY
THAT THERE'S NO DIAMONDS IN THE DIRT

MAYBE WE NEEDED THE END TO BEGIN
MAYBE IT'S THE SAME OLD STORY,
SWEETER SPIN
A PART OF YOUR HEART IS ALONE
AND IT'S SET
A PART OF YOUR HEART ISN'T OVER IT YET

WHO'S TO SAY
OH WHO'S TO SAY
WHO'S TO SAY
THAT THIS WON'T GO MY WAY?
