"Diamond Under Pressure" lyrics

Out of bounds
Precious life, a special kind you cannot touch
See, I let her down
I got no excuse, I wasn't strong enough, oh no
Keep the lid
Keep the lid on top, we hide our weaknesses
She will never hide her pain for anyone
Even with a thousand cuts, she never runs away

Diamond under pressure
How does she remain so beautiful?
Why couldn't I be there for her?
Nothing can compare to her

She keeps on shining evermore
I see her walking through that door
A vision brighter than before
Eleanor
Eleanor

What a sight
Brittle bones that crumble when the road gets rough
Mm, a sorry plight
'Cause once we bite the dust, we cannot blow it off, oh
It's crystal clear
I can see that she's not going anywhere
And she will never turn her back on anyone
A thousand cuts she suffers, but she never runs away

Diamond under pressure
How does she remain so beautiful?
Why couldn't I be there for her?
Nothing can compare to her

She keeps on shining evermore
I see her walking through that door
A vision brighter than before
All of the colors I adore
Forever
Forever
Oh, all of the colors I adore

Diamond under pressure
How does she remain so beautiful?
Why couldn't I be there for her?
Nothing can compare to her
Diamond under pressure
How does she remain so beautiful?
Why couldn't I be there for her?
Nothing can compare to her

Diamond under pressure
How does she remain so beautiful?
I couldn't be there for her
Nothing can compare to her
