there is nothing new about this tale
kissing away this tearful trail
that slides down my face
searching for some solace.

i'm never cheap, i'll grieve alone
my blood is hot, i won't turn to stone
i'll love like i was taught
and never forget the demons that sliced
through this facade and wanted to be fought

diamonds will shine where tears now reside
biting back with all the utmost pride
i'll live and i'll love you
no matter what hell i'm put through.
