Diamond Memories lyrics

[Verse 1]
Bite my tongue and hold my breath
With every labored movement of her chest
When she breathes in a hundred fallen kingdoms rise
And every exhale their demise

[Verse 2]
How could I stay mad with you
Even after all that we've been through
You could break my heart a million different ways
But some things never change

[Chorus]
When I look at you I see
Each diamond memory
And all at once I'm overwhelmed

In those eyes of emerald green
It all comes rushing back to me
And I lose my strength again


[Post-Chorus]
Have mercy on me please
With those diamond memories
[Verse 3]
You know as well as I, my dear
No matter how we feel you can't stay here
Though I’ve missed you every day the last few months
I can't seem to love the two of us at once

[Verse 4]
But then again what's one more night
And after all my life could use your light
So until I hand you over to the sun
Into our broken past we run

[Chorus]
When I look at you I see
Each diamond memory
And all at once I'm overwhelmed

In those eyes of emerald green
You come rushing back to me
And I lose my strength again

[Outro]
Though darling you can't stay
I'll love you anyway
Even if through only these
Have mercy on me please
With those diamond memories
