I knew a girl

Her name was truth
                 
She was, a horrible liar
                  
She couldn’t spend, one day alone
        	        
But she couldn’t, be satisfied
             
When you have, everything
                    
You have everything to lose
               
She made herself, a bed of nails
	                          
And she’s planning, on putting it to use

	                  
But she had diamonds on the inside
	              
She had diamonds on the inside
	              
She had diamonds on the inside
    
Diamonds

                                   
A candle throws its light, into the darkness
                                
In a nasty world, so shines a good deed
                    
Make sure the fortune, that you seek
                     
Is the fortune that you need
 
          
Tell me why, the first to ask
                        
Is the last, to give every time
                
What you say, and do not mean
                 
Follows you close behind

                       
She had diamonds on the inside
                       
She had diamonds on the inside
                       
She wore diamonds on the inside
            
Diamonds … Diamonds

         

                                     
Like the soldier long standing, under fire
                       
Any change, comes as a relief
                             
Let the givers name, remain unspoken
                      
She is just a generous thief

                      
She had diamonds on the inside
                      
She had diamonds on the inside
                       
She wore diamonds on the inside
    	      
She wore diamonds
        
Oh diamonds
            
She had diamonds
   	     
She wore diamonds
