  • My, my, how you've grown
    Did it all on your own
    I knew that you could, now
    All the tears dried away
    Somehow a different shape

    That changed into diamonds
    Diamonds and pearls
    Made yourself into one of those girls
    That makes your own diamonds
    Bright diamonds and pearls
    Now you're shining as you whirl
    Into the light, whoa

    I've always known
    So easy to see
    You could be my new morning
    All that you are
    Beautiful scars
    That sing the tale
    Of a coffin's nail
    From long ago

    So when the night, it seems your last
    Just think back on your past
    It's buried and gone, now
    All the lies you were told
    That seem to strip away your soul

    That changed into diamonds
    Diamonds and pearls
    Made yourself into one of those girls
    That makes your own diamonds
    Bright diamonds and pearls
    Now you're shining as you whirl
    Into the light, whoa

    I've always known
    So easy to see
    You could be my new morning
    All that you are
    Beautiful scars
    That sing the tale
    Of a coffin's nail
    From long ago

    I know what you're thinking
    How could I believe this from the start?
    When I heard you say
    Everything was sinking
    And everyone was tearing you apart
    I still saw a way, whoa

    I've always known
    So easy to see
    You could be my new morning
    All that you are
    Beautiful scars
    That sing the tale
    Of a coffin's nail
    From long ago Writer/s: Joshua Ryan Radin
