Intro-    

                            
-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
        
'cuz 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
               
I'll 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)REPEAT

Bridge:

I'm all grown up

I've got my pride

Why let me live

to let me die?

I'm all grown up now

I've got my pride

Let me live

Let me die.

(chorus)
                               
I-I am a diamond and I cannot be broken
                              
I-I am a diamond and I cannot be broken

You're a diamond too

I was cut from you.
