Don't you tell me
That you don't know
How it burns
To cry alone
When the sunset fades
And all you've got
Are the tear-stained sheets
And your racing thoughts
There's always straights
Left untied
There's always one more
Last goodbye
And this world will break you
If you don't (if you don't)
Allow your knees
To hit the floor
The stars ain't diamonds
And rain ain't tears
And love don't last
A thousand years
We build our walls
We lock our gates
But we'll all be
In the dirt, someday
♪
And I knew this dancer
Dressed all in black
And dug her nails
Into my back
But she pulled away
By and by
It's times like these
I remember why
The stars ain't diamonds
And rain ain't tears
And love don't last
A thousand years
We build our walls
We lock our gates
But we'll all be
In the dirt, someday
♪
The stars ain't diamonds
And rain ain't tears
And love don't last
A hundred thousand years
We build our walls
We lock our gates
But we'll all be
In the dirt, someday
We'll all be
In the dirt, someday
