Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pretty little thing, did you feel something?
Did you always want me to be something?
To mend a broken heart
From a devil of shallow nonsense
Turned your world upside-down
[Verse 2]
Whatever said that it'd mean something?
Whatever said that it'd mean nothing?
And did I look the part?
When it's all said and done
When it's all said and done
[Verse 3]
I'm no good next to diamonds
When I'm too close to start to fade
Are you angry with me now?
Are you angry 'cause I'm to blame?
I'm no good next to diamonds
When I'm too close to start to fade
Are you angry with me now?
Are you angry 'cause I'm to blame?
[Verse 4]
Never wanna hide the truth from you
Just hang my head, what I put you through
I wasn't good enough
When what's done is done, love
When it's all said and done
[Verse 5]
But I'm no good next to diamonds
When I'm too close to start to fade
Are you angry with me now?
Are you angry 'cause I'm to blame?
[Verse 6]
'Cause I'm far away
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
[Verse 7]
I'm no good next to diamonds
When I'm too close to start to fade
Are you angry with me now?
Are you angry 'cause I'm to blame?
I'm no good next to diamonds
When I'm too close to start to fade
Are you angry with me now?
Are you angry 'cause I'm to blame?
[Verse 8]
'Cause I'm far away
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
Further than I ever was
I ever was
