Diamond in the Dark
LIZ Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've been trying, trying
Trying to light you up
You're hardened, hardened
Soften up with my touch

And I'm not gonna apologize for loving hard
I never try to hide my glittering heart
I'm proud of where I've been, so I bedazzle all my scars
I don't wanna lose that, lose that (ooh)
Don't wanna lose that, lose that (ooh)

Look up, look up, look up, baby
Rhinestones in the night sky
They shine, yeah they shine for us baby
Boy, you'll never know, gotta let it glow
Look up, look up, look up, baby
Rhinestones in the night sky
In a flash, it's all gone, it's gone baby
Diamond in the dark, I'm a shooting star

Diamond in the dark
I don't wanna lose that, lose that
I'm a diamond in the dark
Diamond in the dark
I don't wanna lose that, lose that
I'm a diamond in the dark

Gimme a call late at night
Make out in your car in the velvet twilight
Got my heart burning bright
Body lighting up like the northern lights
You say that I sparkle in a way you've never seen
Come and touch me boy, I can give you everything

And I'm not gonna apologize for loving hard
I never try to hide my glittering heart
I'm right off where I've been, so I bedazzle all my scars
I don't wanna lose that, lose that (ooh)
I don't wanna lose that, lose that (ooh)

Look up, look up, look up, baby
Rhinestones in the night sky
They shine, yeah they shine for us baby
Boy, you'll never know, gotta let it glow
Look up, look up, look up, baby
Rhinestones in the night sky
In a flash, it's all gone, it's gone baby
Diamond in the dark, I'm a shooting star

Diamond in the dark
I don't wanna lose that, lose that
I'm a diamond in the dark
Diamond in the dark




I don't wanna lose that, lose that
I'm a diamond in the dark
