Stones For Diamonds

Looking back, I think I should've known

Been telling all your friends I did you wrong

But I've been pullin' these strings for way too long

And how could I, how could I ever be so wrong?

We talked about forever, but forever never came

I'd opened up the door, you let it slam right in my face

Never even checked if I got home safe at night

So how am I to blame?

'Cause I kept just hurting my back for my darling

And in return I got nothing

I should've known from the start (ooh-ooh)

And I've been honest with someone who's lying

Selling me stones for diamonds

Yeah, you tore us apart (ooh-ooh)

Burn up all the memories, up in flame (mm)

Making sure that I'll forget your face (oh)

Too many years went down the drain, ooh

I know that I, I will never make the same mistake, ooh-ooh

We talked about forever, but forever never came

You were the aggressor, throwing dirt all over my name

But don't forget to mention who made you feel safe at night (yeah, yeah, yeah)

So tell 'em I'm insane

'Cause I kept just hurting my back for my darling

And in return I got nothing (nothin')

I should've known from the start (ooh-ooh)

And I've been honest with someone who's lying

Selling me stones for diamonds

Yeah, you tore us apart (ooh-ooh)
