Diamond
HI-D Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My first one without you
I thought the sun would never rise
Was the carpet this stained before
I don't think it was
There are so many things I didn't count on
Take a little of the bread we're breaking
Cause I'm not getting any younger
Cause one day I might be alone
I don't want to be all alone
Your eyes in the blue bedroom light shot back little diamonds
I can remember that night like the sound of your sweet voice
Didn't I say we'd come to nothing
Did I say that things would change
You didn't have to prove me right
You didn't have to prove me right
Take a little of the bread we're breaking
Cause I'm not getting any younger
Save a little of the wine we make oh oh
Cause one day I might be alone
And I don't want to be
All alone... all alone... all alone
Didn't I say we'd come to nothing
Did I say that things would change
You didn't have to prove me right
You didn't have to prove me right
Take a little of the bread we're breaking
Cause I'm not getting any younger
Save a little of the wine we make oh oh
Cause one day I might be alone
Save a little of the world we're breaking up
Save a little of the world we're breaking up
Save a little, just save a little of the world we're breaking up hold on
Shot back little diamonds

This morning was so cold
The start of the day felt empty and devoid of warmth without you
My first one without you
It was the first morning I had to face alone after our separation
I thought the sun would never rise
I felt like the darkness and sadness would never end
Was the carpet this stained before
I noticed the stains on the carpet and wondered if they were always there
I don't think it was
I don't believe the carpet was stained like this before
There are so many things I didn't count on
There were many unexpected challenges and emotions I didn't anticipate
Take a little of the bread we're breaking
Let's not waste the hard work and effort we put into this relationship
Cause I'm not getting any younger
Because time is passing by, and I want to make the most of it
Save a little of the wine we make oh oh
Let's cherish the good moments and memories we create together
Cause one day I might be alone
Because there is a possibility of being alone in the future
I don't want to be all alone
I don't want to face life and loneliness by myself
Your eyes in the blue bedroom light shot back little diamonds
The way your eyes sparkled in the gentle light of our bedroom resembled shining diamonds
I can remember that night like the sound of your sweet voice
The memory of that special night is etched in my mind, just like the sound of your beautiful voice
Didn't I say we'd come to nothing
Didn't I predict that our relationship would ultimately fail or result in disappointment
Did I say that things would change
Did I express the hope or belief that our circumstances and dynamics would improve
You didn't have to prove me right
You didn't have to validate my negative expectations or prove that I was correct
Take a little of the bread we're breaking
Let's not let our efforts and sacrifices go to waste
Cause I'm not getting any younger
Because time is passing quickly, and I want to make the most of our relationship
Save a little of the wine we make oh oh
Let's cherish the love and passion we share before it potentially fades away
Cause one day I might be alone
Because there is a possibility of being left alone in the future
Save a little of the world we're breaking up
Let's not completely destroy the love and connection we once had
Save a little, just save a little of the world we're breaking up hold on
Hold on to the fragments of our relationship that still hold value and meaning
Shot back little diamonds
Your eyes reflected a radiant beauty, like tiny sparkling diamonds
