Diamond Memories
[Verse 1]
Bite my tongue and hold my breath
With every labored movement of her chest
When she breathes in a hundred fallen kingdoms rise
And every exhale their demise
[Verse 2]
How could I stay mad with you
Even after all that we've been through
You could break my heart a million different ways
But some things never change
[Chorus]
When I look at you I see
Each diamond memory
And all at once I'm overwhelmed
In those eyes of emerald green
It all comes rushing back to me
And I lose my strength again
[Post-Chorus]
Have mercy on me please
With those diamond memories
[Verse 3]
You know as well as I, my dear
No matter how we feel you can't stay here
Though I’ve missed you every day the last few months
I can't seem to love the two of us at once
[Verse 4]
But then again what's one more night
And after all my life could use your light
So until I hand you over to the sun
Into our broken past we run
[Chorus]
When I look at you I see
Each diamond memory
And all at once I'm overwhelmed
In those eyes of emerald green
You come rushing back to me
And I lose my strength again
[Outro]
Though darling you can't stay
I'll love you anyway
Even if through only these
Have mercy on me please
With those diamond memories
Bite my tongue and hold my breath
With every labored movement of her chest
When she breathes in a hundred fallen kingdoms rise
And every exhale their demise
[Verse 2]
How could I stay mad with you
Even after all that we've been through
You could break my heart a million different ways
But some things never change
[Chorus]
When I look at you I see
Each diamond memory
And all at once I'm overwhelmed
In those eyes of emerald green
It all comes rushing back to me
And I lose my strength again
[Post-Chorus]
Have mercy on me please
With those diamond memories
[Verse 3]
You know as well as I, my dear
No matter how we feel you can't stay here
Though I’ve missed you every day the last few months
I can't seem to love the two of us at once
[Verse 4]
But then again what's one more night
And after all my life could use your light
So until I hand you over to the sun
Into our broken past we run
[Chorus]
When I look at you I see
Each diamond memory
And all at once I'm overwhelmed
In those eyes of emerald green
You come rushing back to me
And I lose my strength again
[Outro]
Though darling you can't stay
I'll love you anyway
Even if through only these
Have mercy on me please
With those diamond memories
