[Verse 1]
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 witch I hold dear?

[Pre-Chorus]
Out of my way, I'm running
With an excuse just underway
Reality's so daunting
I've got no way to explain

[Chorus]
Cause when you're sleepin' 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
[Verse 2]
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 know what it was meant for
Will I know to play my part

[Pre-Chorus]
Out of my way, I'm leaving
Another excuse before I'll stay
Reality's applauding
I know I don't know the right way

[Chorus]
Cause when you're sleepin' 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
[Bridge]
Is it a lost cause?
Can we overlook this taint?
Are these the dead laws
Like a doubt eating the saint?

And though I fear these shackles
Like my darkness closing in
I will hold out my hands
I will hold out my hands

[Chorus]
Cause when you're sleepin' right next to me
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name
I know the good I've done

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds
Sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds
(Whoaa!)

Cause when you're sleepin' right next to me
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name
I 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
