Big Wreck Diamonds Lyrics

So I don't have it all together
When was your first clue
What ever happened to
The part of me that used to do?

I'm standing by the water's edge
And leaning forward
I could use your hand
I'll never ask again
But just this once
Could you pretend, oh

But lately there's no give or take
With darkness in the way
The sparkling of a diamond
Has to vanish in the shade
It's my way
And you stay with me still

So I don't have it all together
All the reasons why
I've only just begun
To show you how
To come undone

The future seems a tad uncertain
One must watch their step
Don't go too far
I've always tried to grow, alone
But not apart, oh
But lately there's no give or take
With darkness in the way
The sparkling of a diamond
Has to vanish in the shade
It's my way
And you stay with me still

But lately there's no give or take
With darkness in the way
The sparkling of a diamond
Has to vanish in the shade

Hey, lately there's no give or take
With darkness in the way
The sparkling of a diamond
Has to vanish in the shade
It's my way
And you stay with me still
