Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When you asked
How I've been here without you
I'd like to say I've been fine
And I do
But we both know the truth
Is hard to come by
And if I told the truth
That's not quite true
[Verse 2]
Some days are diamonds
Some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind
Blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds
Some days are stones
[Verse 3]
Now the face
That I see in my mirror
More and more
Is a stranger to me
More and more
I can see there's a danger
In becoming
What I never thought I'd be
[Verse 4]
Some days are diamonds
Some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind
Blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds
Some days are stones
[Verse 5]
Some days are diamonds
Some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind
Blows a chill in my bones
Some days are diamonds
Some days are stones
[Verse 6]
Some days are diamonds
Some days are stones
Sometimes the hard times won't leave me alone
Sometimes a cold wind
Blows a chill in my bones
