My Diamonds

"There were things I wanted to tell him. But I knew they would hurt him.

So I buried them, and let them hurt me."

Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close

Oh, what the hell she says I just can't win for losing

And she lays back down

Man, there are so many times I don't know what I'm doing

Like I don't know now

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes

Says it's funny how the night can make you blind

I can just imagine

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

But if she feels bad, then I do too

So I let her be

And she says...

Ooh, I can take no more

Her tears like diamonds on the floor

And her diamonds bring me down

'Cos I can't help her now

She's down in it

She tried her best

And now she can't win

It's hard

To see them on the ground

Her diamonds falling down

Way down

When she sits down and stares into the distance

And it takes all night

And I know I can break her concentration

But it don't feel right

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes

Sits down on the bed and starts to cry

And there is something less about her

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do

So I sit down and I cry too

But don't let her see

She shuts out the night

And tries to close her eyes

If she can find daylight

Then she'll be alright

She'll be alright

Just not tonight
