Don't you tell me that you don't know
How it burns to cry alone
When the sunset fades and all you've got
Are the tearstained sheets and your racing thoughts
There's always strings left untied
There's always one more last goodbye
And this world will break you if you don't
Allow your knees to hit the floor
'Cause stars ain't diamonds, rain ain't tears
And love don't last a thousand years
We build our walls, we lock our gates
But we'll all be in the dirt someday
And I knew this dancer dressed all in black
Dug her nails into my back
But she pulled away by and by
It's times like these I remember why
'Cause stars ain't diamonds, rain ain't tears
And love don't last a thousand years
We build our walls, we lock our gates
But we'll all be in the dirt someday
Stars ain't diamonds, rain ain't tears
And love don't last a thousand years
We build our walls, we lock our gates
But we'll all be in the dirt someday
