Lyrics My Brightest Diamond

My Brightest Diamond

A Million Pearls

I tried to tell you what I can do

But you won't believe what you cannot see

Oh well, oh well, oh well

Oh well, oh well, oh well

Thanks to all the times it was said

You can't, you can't, you can't

Well, I did, I do, I do

Well, I did, I did, I do

And cheers to all of them who said

"There's a million pearls just like you"

Now where'd they disappear to?

Now where'd they disappear to?

I wanted to go high

I wanted you to recognize

Something you saw worth keeping

Oh well, oh well, oh well

If I show you my disgrace

Will you still display distaste

If I bare to you my-

Will it mean anything to you at all

When I offer up my mouth

How you spit me out

'til I learn to be proud

On an ocean floor I'm found

As just one of the million other

A million

A million

A million pearls

A million

A million

A million pearls

A million

A million

A million pearls
