Love is like a precious diamond
A gemstone in the rough
It needs work to keep it shining
To make it bright enough

You showed me a world of treasures
I drowned in the fairy tale
You doused me in your gold dust
But just as soon took it away

I gave, you took
Heart broke, you looked the other way

I gave you diamonds
You gave me dust
Whatever I gave you
Wasn't enough
Not enough to hold you
Or make you want to stay
But I don't want your diamonds anyway

Many times I reached out for you
You just turned me away
So afraid to show your feelings
In case you looked weak or lame

I've never felt so elated
Or so confused at the same time
I've never known anything like this
I know you never will be mine

I gave, you took
Heart broke, you looked the other way

I gave you diamonds
You gave me dust
Whatever I gave you
Wasn't enough
Not enough to hold you


Or make you want to stay
But I don't want your diamonds anyway

Bridge:
What kind of person
Throws away a jewel?
What kind of person
Are you?

I gave you diamonds
You gave me dust
Whatever I gave you
Wasn't enough
Not enough to hold you
Or make you want to stay
But I don't want your diamonds anyway!


Now I don't want your diamonds
I don't need your diamonds
I don't want your diamonds anyway!
