This song is in the perspective of a man who will stop at nothing to win back the heart of his ex. And although she is beautiful on the outside, she is ugly on the inside and attempting to be with her may get you hurt, hence the title, “Diamond on a Landmine”.
Some lyrics suggest abuse, whether it...
[Verse 1]
Slapped my face, slammed the door
A dozen roses lay on the floor
I saw her friends and I was told
She blocked my number from her cell phone
You said we were meant to be
Now this obsession is killing me
Until I have a heart attack
I’ll keep on trying to win you back
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone at last
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
[Chorus]
Forever, forever
I’d walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well, you better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
[Verse 2]
I’m not so sure about this word
But she kept calling me insecure
I tried to quit but there’s no use
‘Cause I’m addicted to her abuse
She’s in control of everything
I’m just a puppet, she pulls my strings
Denying truth, I’ll test my fate
And keep on playing this wicked game
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone at last
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
[Chorus]
Forever, forever
I’d walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well, you better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
[Post-Chorus]
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
[Bridge]
We’re dancing on thin ice before
Frozen from the winter’s cold
And if it were to crack below
I’d never let you go
[Pre-Chorus]
Alone at last
I can’t wait till we’re alone at last
All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
To hold you in my arms at last
[Chorus]
Forever, forever
I’d walk a thousand miles
Just to tell her, to tell her
Our love is still alive
And I’ll never, I’ll never
I’ll never let it die
Well, you better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
[Post-Chorus]
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
[Outro]
You better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better watch your step
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better not touch
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Better to forget
She’s a diamond on a landmine
Waiting to explode
