"Stones For Diamonds" lyrics

Looking back, I think I should've known
Been telling all your friends I did you wrong
But I've been pullin' these strings for way too long
And how could I, how could I ever be so wrong?

We talked about forever, but forever never came
I'd opened up the door, you let it slam right in my face
Never even checked if I got home safe at night
So how am I to blame?

'Cause I kept just hurting my back for my darling
And in return I got nothing
I should've known from the start (ooh-ooh)
And I've been honest with someone who's lying
Selling me stones for diamonds
Yeah, you tore us apart (ooh-ooh)

Burn up all the memories, up in flame (mm)
Making sure that I'll forget your face (oh)
Too many years went down the drain, ooh
I know that I, I will never make the same mistake, ooh-ooh

We talked about forever, but forever never came
You were the aggressor, throwing dirt all over my name
But don't forget to mention who made you feel safe at night (yeah, yeah, yeah)
So tell 'em I'm insane

'Cause I kept just hurting my back for my darling
And in return I got nothing (nothin')
I should've known from the start (ooh-ooh)
And I've been honest with someone who's lying
Selling me stones for diamonds
Yeah, you tore us apart (ooh-ooh)
