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's so daunting
I've got no way to explain

'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

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

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

'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

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
'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
