In these days of manmade wonders we still bicker over flies

When you come seeking for forgiveness, I'll be forced to choose my side

If I deny you what you're searching, do I do it out of fear

Am I ruling out my reason, killing that which I hold dear

Out of my way I'm running, with an excuse just underway

Reality's so daunting, and I've got no way to explain

Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one

So when I hear you calling my name, why do I turn away to run

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears

In the light of recent findings, there's no greater taint than grace

But to relinquish all our bindings, always finds us out of place

If I rested here a while more, would you hold me to your heart

If I knew what it was meant for, will I know to play my part

Out of my way I'm leaving, another excuse before I'll stay

Reality's applauding, I know I don't know the right way

Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one

So when I hear you calling my name, yeah, I know you're the one

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears

Is it a lost cause,

Can we overlook this taint

Are these the dead laws

Like a doubt eating the saint

And though I fear these shackles, like my darkness closing in

I will hold out my hands, I will hold out my hands

Cos when you're sleeping right next to me, I know you're the one

So when I hear you calling my name, I'll know the good I've done

I guess that's why it's raining diamonds, sweet happiness in tears

Crying heaven shed your diamonds, diamonds for tears
