Diamonds on the Inside lyrics

I knew a girl

Her name was Truth

She was a horrible liar

She couldn't spend one day alone

But she couldn't be satisfied

When you have everything

You have everything to lose

She made herself a bed of nails

And she's plannin' on puttin' it to use

But she had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

Diamonds

A candle throws its light into the darkness

In a nasty world, so shines a good deed

Make sure the fortune that you seek

Is the fortune that you need

Tell me why the first to ask

Is the last to give, every time

What you say and do not mean

Follows you close behind

She had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds on the inside

Diamonds

Diamonds

Like the soldier long standing under fire

Any change comes as a relief

Let the giver's name remain unspoken

She is just a generous thief

But she had diamonds on the inside

She had diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds on the inside

She wore diamonds

Oh, diamonds

She had diamonds

She wore diamonds

Diamonds
