I, I am a diamond and I cannot be broken   I, I am a diamond and I cannot be broken   Mother please don't cry for me   I rolled the dice, just give it some time   If you could just be kind to me   'cause I don't care   The life I waste is mine   It don't mean much in the grand scheme   I've given up and given everything   Chorus   It's worth repeating   over again   I'll keep my head up   and swallow my pride again   give it away again   It's been dead so long it can't die there again   I, I am a diamond and I cannot be broken   I, I am a diamond and I cannot be broken   Mother, mine's a foolish game   but the same could be said   said about yours   He took your youth and he took your name   What did your journey here ensure?   Chorus   It's worth repeating   over again   I'll keep my head up   and swallow my pride again   give it away again   It's been dead so long it can't die there again   I'm all grown up, I've got my pride   why let me live to let me die   I'm all grown up, I've got my pride   why let me live to let me die   Chorus   It's worth repeating   over again   I'll keep my head up   and swallow my pride again   give it away again   It's been dead so long it can't die there again
