When the tape runs out, the music keeps playing When the walls come down, it's still hard to cross the line When his love is gone, he says he still needs her And he wants to let you know, that if he had his chance again He'd be a diamond
When you dab your eyes, your tears keep on falling When you blow your nose, it still gets blocked up and runs And though you feel like shit, he says you look beautiful And he swears by all the saints, that if he had his chance again He'd be a diamond
Is he lying to get what he wants Does he mean it this time Is he running low on affection And feeling dope and an ironing board And an unpaid elvis who shags
When you turn your back, you still see what's behind you When you start afresh, you still think of days gone by When a heart is broken, it still goes on thumping And he told me just last night, that if he had his chance again He'd be a diamond
