Diamonds For Tears Lyrics & Chords By Poets Of The Fall

In these days of manmade wonders,
We still bicker over flies
When you come seeking for forgiveness,
I'll be forced to choose my side

If I deny you what you're searching,
Do I do it out of fear?
Am I ruling out my reason,
Killing that which I hold dear?

Out of my way, I'm running
With an excuse just underway
Reality's so daunting,
I've got no way to explain

'Cause when you're sleepin' right next to me,
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name,
why do I turn away and run?

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears

In the light of recent findings,
There's no greater taint than grace
But to relinquish all our bindings,
Always finds us out of place

If I rested here a while more,
Would you hold me to your heart
If I know what it was meant for,
Will I know to play my part

Out of my way, I'm leaving
Another excuse before I'll stay
Reality's applauding,
I know I don't know the right way

'Cause when you're sleepin' right next to me,
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name,
(Yeah)I know you're the one

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears

Is it a lost cause?
Can we overlook this taint?
Are these the dead laws,
Like a doubt eating the saint?

And though I fear these shackles,
Like my darkness closing in
I will hold out my hands,
I will hold out my hands

'Cause when you're sleepin' right next to me,
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know the good I've done

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds,
(Whoaa!)

'Cause when you're sleepin' right next to me,
I know you're the one
So when I hear you calling my name,
I know the good I've done

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds,
Sweet happiness in tears
Crying heaven shed your diamonds,
Diamonds for tears
