Текст песни The Spirit Valentine - White Skin Below Diamonds

Текст:

She spoke the words long after the fact Jettisoned her ring and never looked back, oh no At withered hope and affections lost Her black perspective, disappointment's cost, oh no Said she felt laden with the burden of being his wife, Standing in his shadow instead of at his side, Vying for attensions, an intimate look. The distance in desire was all that it took To give doubt a third dimension, Make their separation real, She shuddered at his touch And a love she couldn't feel, And her calloused heart fosters Her decision to leave the arena of needing Now she bares white skin below diamonds She broke the hold of mistakes resigned Summoned independence and the fire trapped inside so long In a house divided, commitment cracked, Split down the middle by his darker half, oh no And she's had enough of tears to last the rest of her life Of tension so thick she could cut it with a knife. In search of satisfaction and dogged by disregard, She went back to the beginning, tried to make a clean start Though the nights are never easy, self-respect is hers to keep Only troubled on occasion by the hurt she put to sleep But frustration serves to bolster her refusal to lead A lifetime of lonely Now she bares the white skin below diamonds
