Sometimes I let myself go out of control, I get soap in my eyes and smoke in my soul Maintaining hope will exact its toll When you're looking for diamonds in a pile of coal Sometimes I let myself get carried away, You're turning me out when I want to stay But right now it's ok, Ive got it under control At least for today I'm looking for diamonds in coal, looking for diamonds in coal Waiting for you all of the time, I'm trying to find the words to complete this rhyme Once I looked in your eyes a little too long But neglect and rejection have made me strong I'm looking for diamonds in coal, looking for diamonds in coal I've always known it was up to me To become the person I want to be With a little less reliance upon your laughter I guess thats what I'm really after When I'm looking for diamonds in coal, looking for diamonds in coal
