Girls Are Like Diamonds - By Amy Court and Joey Daigneault


Oh, but the girl’s like a diamond you say
Searching for places to carve her name
Blinding and breaking each tactic you choose

Shimmering up through a smoky bar
Casting back all that you think you are
The prettiest something you ever could lose

If all you want is all you can hold in your hand
Then through your fingers she’ll fall
Leave you empty, just empty

Oh, but the girl’s like a diamond these days
And try as you might you can’t stay away
She opens her eyes and your life’s flying past

So you handle her like your discovery
There are facets on her only you can see
A beauty like this is one never could last

If all you want is all you can hold in your hand
Then through your fingers she’ll fall
Leave you empty, just empty

Look at you now
Sad little lessons you muddle through
After the desperate angling, the clinging, the taking
It’s she who owns you

If all you want is all you can hold in your hand
Then through your fingers she’ll fall
Leave you empty, just empty
