So much coming in
I do not know where to begin
I just follow the lead you're pulling
And I get lost in your trail
So much more to tell
You just ask me if I'm doing well
But I do not know what the hell
I just swallow hard
In your eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
In your eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what your love's revealing
So much you can see
Should I let you make a woman of me?
Should I let you take the mystery from me?
See the inside of my room at night?
Sometimes you will find
Things I do not know how to leave behind
I've been grappling with my mind
I've been stuck inside a jail
In your eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
In your eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what your love's revealing
The cold of winter warms my blood and he's hot
Like a bed of steel
He finds his peace of mind
In the rivers and the whip-poor-wills
I could follow close behind
And slowly disappear
But I could never leave him
I could never leave him
I could never leave him
I could never leave him
I could never leave him
I could never leave him
*Screams* (I could never leave him)
In his eyes
Black diamonds
I could die
Black diamonds
And I wake up in a cold sweat on your ceiling
Terrified of what his love's revealing
So much more to do
Come on, let me make a man outta you
I could gather you and you tell the truth
You could cry inside my arms
You could cry (inside my arms)
You could cry
You could cry inside my arms like a baby
You could cry inside my arms like a child
You could cry
You could cry
You can cry
Like a baby
You can cry
You can cry
You can cry
You can cry
You can cry
(Cry)
(Cry)
(Cry)
You can cry
You can cry
You can cry
You can cry
Cry
You!
White diamonds
White diamonds
White diamonds
White diamonds
Black diamonds
Like a baby
Like a child
Like a tiny little fragile thing
Like a tiny little decadent fragile thing in my arms
Like a child in my arms
Like a baby in my arms
In my arms
In my arms
Woo!
