I hate the thought of you with him
It's an all new low for me

When I see you again
Smiling on the outside
Crying on the inside

When will it end?
Will it ever end?


A diamond does not only shine
If you take away the light
and hide it in the dark

Shining on the outside
Dying on the inside
When will it end?

Will it ever end?

It's like this

slow motion
knife-thrust
And the pain hits

All at once

Do you think that it's not real

That I get the way you feel?

You're better than that

You should be free
You should shine
You should be with me


I wish that I had known you then
We could have laughed away

The things that make you think of him
Shining on the outside
Shining on the inside

Didn't know you then.
I didn't know you then.


But it's this
slow motion
knife-thrust

And the pain hits
All at once


Do you think that it's not real
That I get the way you feel?


You're better than that
You should be free
You should shine

You should be with me

You should be with me.
