Shadows and Diamonds Lyrics

In the mirror, I see reflections of doubt

A kaleidoscope of faces staring back, no way out

They say my eyes sparkle like diamonds at night

But they don't see the shadows behind the light

They're drawn to the surface, can't see the depths

Ignoring the heart that's been quietly wept

They love the beauty they can touch

But never bother to explore too much

It's like admiring a rose without smelling its scent

They miss the soul, only see what's meant

They compliment my smile, my hair so fine

But never bother to read between the lines

I'm more than just a pretty face to display

Yet they choose to look the other way

They're drawn to the surface, can't see the depths

Ignoring the heart that's been quietly wept

They love the beauty they can touch

But never bother to explore too much

It's like admiring a rainbow without seeing its hue

They miss the magic, only see what's due

I'm tired of being a painting on the wall

A masterpiece ignored as they roam the hall

They're drawn to the surface, can't see the depths

Ignoring the heart that's been quietly wept

They love the beauty they can touch

But never bother to explore too much

It's like gazing at the stars without feeling their glow

They miss the essence, only see the show
