Lyrics

Diamond hands, one night stands
He didn't choose this life,
It fell into his hands
He had a woman, given her his name
She broke his heart, and he wasn't quite the same
(no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
___
He was a man, lonely with regret
Using the bottle, trying to forget
There were some loves,
There were some leaves
Looking at him,
He's not quite all he seems
(no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
___
Diamond hands, he's just a man
Loves his family, will do all that he can
To make things right, he'll always fight
When he states his words,
He'll try to do it right
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
___
Don't mistake his smile and attitude
For the inside of this contemplative dude
He may be holding back the tears
But he's just as good
At masking all his fears
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
___
Diamond hands, one night stands
He joked about it, but the shoe falls
where it lands
He had some dreams, had some plans
Wasn't just about pleasing all his fans
(no, no, no, no, no, no, no)
___
He's coming back though,
Stronger than before
Don't wanna battle
Those demons anymore
He's got his art, a great big heart
And that's the building blocks
For his brand new start
(yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
