Have it all
Rip our memories off the wall
All the special things I bought
They mean nothing to me anymore
But to you
They were everything we were
They meant more than every word
Now I know just what you love me for (mm)

Take all the money you want from me
Hope you become what you want to be
Show me how little you care
How little you care, how little you care
You dream of glitter and gold
My heart's already been sold
Show you how little I care
How little I care, how little I care

My diamonds leave with you (mm)
You're never gonna hear my heart break (mm)
Never gonna move in dark ways (mm)
Baby, you're so cruel
My diamonds leave with you (mm)
Material love won't fool me (mm)
When you're not here I can breathe (mm)
Think I always knew
My diamonds leave with you

(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)

Shake it off
Shake the fear of feeling lost
Always me that pays the cost
I should never trust so easily
You lied to me
Lie, lied to me
Then left with my heart 'round your chest (mm)

Take all the money you want from me
Hope you become what you want to be
Show me how little you care
How little you care, how little you care
You dream of glitter and gold
My heart's already been sold
Show you how little I care
How little I care, how little I care

My diamonds leave with you (mm)
You're never gonna hear my heart break (mm)
Never gonna move in dark ways (mm)
Baby, you're so cruel
My diamonds leave with you (mm)
Material love won't fool me (mm)
When you're not here I can breathe (mm)
Think I always knew
My diamonds leave with you

(Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Whoa, oh (diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds)
Always knew

Overall Meaning

In Sam Smith’s song, Diamonds, the lyrics revolve around a broken relationship or friendship. The first verse talks about how they had something special and how all the special things that they did together meant nothing to the singer anymore, but it still means everything to the other person. Later, they talk about how they know why the other person loves them and also how they don’t care about the materialistic things anymore.


The chorus goes on to talk about how the person can take all the money they want from the singer, but it won’t matter because they will never hear their heart break again or move down dark paths. The singer also mentions how the other person dreams of “glitter and gold,” or material things, but their heart has already been “sold” and they know that the other person is materialistic. The lyrics go on to say how the other person is so cruel and the only thing they’re leaving with is the singer’s diamonds.


The last verse talks about the singer shaking the fear of feeling lost, feeling like it's always them that pays the price, and how they shouldn’t have trusted the other person so easily. They then say how the other person lied to them and left with their heart around their chest.


Overall, Diamonds is a powerful song that deals with heartbreak and feeling taken advantage of by someone who only cares about material things. The lyrics convey a sense of personal growth and acceptance of the situation, showing how valuable the singer’s heart is and how they’re leaving with their self-worth intact.

Diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, diamonds
Repetition of 'Diamonds' to emphasize their importance in the song


Have it all
It all belongs to you now


Rip our memories off the wall
Erase the memories of us from your life


All the special things I bought
All the gifts I gave you that were special to me


They mean nothing to me anymore
They hold no value for me anymore


But to you
You may still hold them dear


They were everything we were
Those things represented our relationship


They meant more than every word
Those material things held more importance to you than anything I said


Now I know just what you love me for (mm)
I understand that my material possessions were the only reason you loved me


Take all the money you want from me
You can have all of the money I have


Hope you become what you want to be
I wish you all the success you desire


Show me how little you care
Reveal to me how little value our relationship held for you


You dream of glitter and gold
Your desires only involve material things


My heart's already been sold
You have already taken my heart for material gain


Show you how little I care
I also don't care about our relationship anymore


My diamonds leave with you (mm)
The material possessions are, at this point, all that you are taking from me


You're never gonna hear my heart break (mm)
I won't let you see that you brought me any emotional pain


Never gonna move in dark ways (mm)
I won't do anything underhanded or deceitful in response to what you've done


Baby, you're so cruel
You're being heartless and insensitive


Material love won't fool me (mm)
Material things won't fill the void in my heart


When you're not here I can breathe (mm)
I feel relieved when you're not around


Think I always knew
I realized a long time ago what our relationship was really about


Shake it off
I need to move on from the hurt you've caused me


Shake the fear of feeling lost
I need to overcome the fear of being alone and lost without you


Always me that pays the cost
I'm the one who always ends up getting hurt


I should never trust so easily
I shouldn't have been so quick to trust you


You lied to me
You were dishonest with me


Lie, lied to me
Emphasizing the act of lying


Then left with my heart 'round your chest (mm)
You took my heart and left me brokenhearted


Always knew
I was aware all along of the true nature of our relationship
