"Glowing Up" lyrics

Staring to see a picture of me
But it's too hard to look in my eyes
I know I'm ashamed I might find what I left behind
What I worked for so long to hide
But in the end I know what's incredible
Is the chance to change myself

'Cause diamonds don't shine
'Til they been buried alive, oh
But I've been in the rough for long enough
Tonight I'm glowing up
And diamonds can't sparkle
'Til they find light they can follow
The pressure gets tough for just long enough
Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up
Glowing up

Scared at the sight of the sun's dying light
We recoil at the cold of the night
And though we forget that the moon and the stars will come soon
And we'll be in the warmth of their light
I still remember the time when each day was for crying
Oh I truly hold them dear
They're the storm that got me here

'Cause diamonds don't shine (they don't shine no)
'Til they been buried alive, oh (oh)
But I've been in the rough for long enough
Tonight I'm glowing up (glowing up)
And diamonds can't sparkle (they don't sparkle)
'Til they find light they can follow (oh)
The pressure gets tough for just long enough
Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up
Glowing up

Might not escape all the pressure the pain
But I'll never fade away
I've got too much left to say

'Cause diamonds don't shine
Diamond's can't sparkle
The pressure gets tough for just long enough
Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up
And diamonds can't sparkle (they don't sparkle)
'Til they find light they can follow (oh)
The pressure gets tough for just long enough
Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up
Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up
Tonight I'm glowing up, glowing up
Glowing up
