Diamond
Alan Lyrics

Hello, sweet grief
Addressing the pain of lost love and mourning the inevitable end of the relationship

I know you will be the death of me
Predicting that the overwhelming heartache will consume the person completely

Feel like the morning after ecstasy
Comparing the depth of sadness to the after-effects of an intense drug experience

I am drowning in an endless sea
Feeling suffocated and overwhelmed by the emotions of the heartbreak

Hello, old friend
Reaching out to the familiar pain of heartbreak and misery

Here's the misery that knows no end
Acknowledging that the pain of losing love is timeless and never truly goes away

So I am doing everything I can
Taking proactive measures to protect and shield oneself from future heartbreak and pain

To make sure I never love again
Determined to avoid the vulnerability and pain of falling in love and getting hurt again

I wish that I did not know
Regretting the experience and knowledge of how love can be painful

Where all broken lovers go
Describing the universal experience of people who have been deeply hurt by love

I wish that my heart was made of stone
Longing for emotional numbness to avoid the pain of heartbreak

Yeah, if I was bulletproof
Imagining a world where the heart is invulnerable to the pain of love

I'd love you black and blue
Even if it hurt, the love would remain strong and true

If I was solid like a jewel
If the heart was as hard and unyielding as a gemstone, it could not be broken by love

If I had a diamond heart
Using a diamond as a symbol for a heart that is unbreakable, strong, and pure

I'd give you all my love
If the heart was invulnerable, it could love without fear of pain or loss

You could shoot me with a gun of gold
Even the promise of wealth and riches could not tempt the love away

I'd walk straight through the bullet
Confidently facing danger and obstacles, undeterred by fear or pain

Bendin' like a tulip
Being flexible and able to adapt to difficult situations, like a flower that bends in the wind

Blue-eyed and foolish
Admitting to the naivete and vulnerability of the heart despite the pain it has endured

Never mind the bruises
Even if hurt, the love is worth enduring the pain and scars

Into the fire
Going towards danger and challenge, not running away or hiding

Breakin' through the wires
Pushing through obstacles and barriers, no matter how difficult or daunting

Give you all I've got
Giving all of oneself to love, even if it causes pain or loss

I'd walk straight through the dagger
Accepting the possibility of being hurt by love, but still willing to take the risk

Never break the pattern
Committed to loving fiercely and unconditionally, despite past heartache

Diamonds don't shatter
Emphasizing the strength and enduring nature of love, even in difficult times

Beautiful and battered
Acknowledging the scars and pain of love, but still seeing its beauty and worth

Into the poison
Stepping into dangerous situations and difficult emotions, undeterred by the risk

Cry you an ocean
Will cry with and for the person they love, no matter the cause or reason

Goodbye, so long
Saying farewell to a relationship that has brought both joy and pain

I don't know if this is right or wrong
Uncertain about the decision to leave the relationship, despite the pain it has caused

Am I giving up where I belong?
Worried about losing a sense of identity or purpose after the relationship ends

'Cause every station is playing our song
The pain of hearing reminders of the past love in everyday settings

Goodbye my love
Saying farewell to the person they loved deeply

You are everything my dreams made of
Acknowledging the profound love and admiration for the person they are losing

You'll be Prince and I'm the crying dove
Comparing the person they love to royalty, while feeling small and insignificant in comparison

If I only were unbreakable
Longing for invulnerability to the pain of love

I'd give you all my love
Even if unbreakable, the love would remain strong and true
