Diamond Memories - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Bite my tongue and hold my breath

With every labored movement of her chest

When she breathes in a hundred fallen kingdoms rise

And every exhale their demise

How could I stay mad with you

Even after all that we've been through

You could break my heart a million different ways

But some things never change

When I look at you I see

Each diamond memory

And all at once I'm overwhelmed

In those eyes of emerald green

It all comes rushing back to me

And I lose my strength again

Have mercy on me please

With those diamond memories

You know as well as I, my dear

No matter how we feel you can't stay here

Though I’ve missed you every day the last few months

I can't seem to love the two of us at once

But then again what's one more night

And after all my life could use your light

So until I hand you over to the sun

Into our broken past we run

When I look at you I see

Each diamond memory

And all at once I'm overwhelmed

In those eyes of emerald green

You come rushing back to me

And I lose my strength again

Though darling you can't stay

I'll love you anyway

Even if through only these

Have mercy on me please

With those diamond memories
