Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Luxury wasted, beauty untasted
Gold undiscovered in a wasteland all ours
Used and abandoned, betrayed and unwanted
Hidden and haunted
She's a diamond in the rough
A diamond in the rough
How do you say goodbye
To everything you've known?
How do you leave behind
What holds onto you the most?
She's cold and she's jaded and all hope is faded
'Cause where can she turn and where can she go?
Nobody sees and nobody knows
So she sits and she waits in the dark and the cold
A diamond in the rough
How do you say goodbye
To everything you've known?
How do you leave behind
What holds onto you the most?
How do you say goodbye
To everything you've known?
How do you leave behind
What holds onto you the most?
Held by the ground that she's in, she's surrounded
What can get through to her? Can she be found?
A lost treasure tragedy
Does she even know the value she holds?
The truth that's untold
How do you say goodbye?
How do you leave behind?
How do you say goodbye
To everything you've known?
How do you leave behind
What holds onto you the most?
How do you say goodbye
To everything you've known?
How do you leave behind
What holds onto you the most?
She's a diamond in the rough
A diamond in the rough
She's a diamond in the rough
A diamond in the rough
