Diamond in the Grave Lyrics

All my life I became the quiet girl they all wanted me to be

Hit after hit, the verbal blows scarred worse than you could ever believe

Didn't understand that they kept me down cause of fear fuelled insecurity

I was busy losing sleep at night, thinking the problem was me

So, I dug deeper

You couldn't reach her

Let's see what still lies here

It's time to start an inquisition

I found a diamond in the grave that you tried hard to bury

Rough cut, unshaped and unaffected from your jealousy

It'll take an earthquake to release it from this travesty

Give a girl an inch, she'll take a mile and you won't like what you see

It's already started, you won't like what you see, it's already started, started

It took some years; it took some fighting to make sure she was finally free

Never seen sunlight, like a newborn, could be who she wanted to be

Precious to behold, she built her wall up to keep out the negativity

You pushed her to the breaking point, now I see that the problem wasn't me

So, I dug deeper

You couldn't reach her

Let's see what still lies here

It's time to start an inquisition

I found a diamond in the grave that you tried hard to bury

Rough cut, unshaped and unaffected from your jealousy

It'll take an earthquake to release it from this travesty

Give a girl an inch, she'll take a mile and you won't like what you see

It's already started, you won't like what you see, it's already started, started

She's becoming the girl she was always meant to be, yeah

No one left in her path, to stop her light from shining through, yeah

She found a diamond in the grave

I am a diamond in the grave

I found a diamond in the grave that you tried hard to bury

Rough cut, unshaped and unaffected from your jealousy

It'll take an earthquake to release it from this travesty

Give a girl an inch, she'll take a mile and you won't like what you see

It's already started, you won't like what you see, it's already started
