Lyrics
VERSE 1
Another strand of sparkle
Never thought that it'd get old
Dressed in Giorgio
Armani never felt so cold
Been a while since you said you loved me
Or took me by the hand
Empty Offerings of shiny things
Trying so hard to pretend
PRE-CHORUS
If these mirrors all shatter
Can we go back to what matters?
We're only fooling ourselves
CHORUS
You gave me everything - that I wanted
But I didn't get a thing - that I needed
Just DIAMONDS & DUST
DIAMONDS & DUST
This sounds hypocritical - so forgive me
But I'm growing cynical - of this daydream
Just DIAMONDS & DUST
Oh, just DIAMONDS & DUST
VERSE 2
Another late night breakdown
You roll your eyes, I fake a smile
Lookin' picture perfect
But haven't felt that in a while
BRIDGE
Let's trade it all away
Let's sell it off today
And buy a new start
