Text: Poets Of The Fall. Diamonds For Tears.

In these days of manmade wonders,
We still bicker over flies…
When you come seeking for forgiveness
I’ll be forced to choose my side.
If I deny you what you’re searching,
Do I do it out of fear?
Am I ruling out my reason,
Killing that which I hold dear?

Out of my way, I’m running with an excuse just underway;
Reality’s so daunting, and I’ve got no way to explain.

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name
Why do I turn away and run?
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

In the light of recent findings,
There’s no greater taint than grace,
But to relinquish all our bindings,
Always finds us out of place.
If I rested here a while more,
Would you hold me to your heart?
If I knew what it was meant for,
Would I know to play my part?

Out of my way, I’m leaving;
Another excuse before I’ll stay.
Reality’s applauding;
I know I don’t know the right way.

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know you’re the one.
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.

Is it a lost cause?
Can we overlook this taint?
Are these dead laws
Like a doubt eating the saint?

And though I fear these shackles
Like my darkness closing in,
I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands…

‘Cause when you’re sleeping right next to me,
I know you’re the one…
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know the good I’ve done.
I guess that’s why it’s raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears.
Crying Heaven, shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears.
