Diamondback

(album: 29: Written In Stone - 2021)

Never been all that wrapped up in shiny swimming pools
Those material kinda lies they tell
Life looks oh so well from the outside in
Honeymoons don't end
No, what I thought I wanted let me down
And I don't want it now

Keep the house, keep the truck
Go downtown, get too drunk
Kiss a one-night stand with a butterfly on her back
Take the bed where you used to lie
Keep the friends I never liked
And the happy ever after welcome mat
But you ain't gonna get this diamond back
No, never ever getting this diamond back
You can keep the dog and the Cadillac
But you ain't gonna get this diamond back

Well I guess I'll just burn that dress
All those fairy tales can go straight to hell
Don't need you no more, with this
24 carats that I'm wearing, no, I don't care if you

Keep the house, keep the truck
Go downtown, get too drunk
Kiss a one-night stand with a butterfly on her back
Take the bed where you used to lie
Keep the friends I never liked
And the happy ever after welcome mat
But you ain't gonna get this diamond back
No, never ever getting this diamond back
You can keep the dog and the Cadillac
But you ain't gonna get this diamond back

Oh, what I thought I wanted let me down
But who's laughing now

Keep the house, keep the truck
Go downtown, get too drunk
Kiss a one-night stand with a butterfly on her back
Take the bed where you used to lie
Keep the friends I never liked
And the happy ever after welcome mat
You ain't gonna get this diamond back
No, never ever getting this diamond back
It's in a pawn shop next to the laundromat
You ain't gonna get this diamond back
