Lola May - Diamond in the Grave

All my life I became the quiet girl they all wanted me to be
Hit after hit, the verbal blows scarred worse than you could ever believe
Didn't understand that they kept me down cause of fear fuelled insecurity
I was busy losing sleep at night, thinking the problem was me
So, I dug deeper
You couldn't reach her
Let's see what still lies here
It's time to start an inquisition
I found a diamond in the grave that you tried hard to bury
Rough cut, unshaped and unaffected from your jealousy
It'll take an earthquake to release it from this travesty
Give a girl an inch, she'll take a mile and you won't like what you see
It's already started, you won't like what you see, it's already started, started
It took some years; it took some fighting to make sure she was finally free
Never seen sunlight, like a newborn, could be who she wanted to be
Precious to behold, she built her wall up to keep out the negativity
You pushed her to the breaking point, now I see that the problem wasn't me
So, I dug deeper
You couldn't reach her
Let's see what still lies here
It's time to start an inquisition
I found a diamond in the grave that you tried hard to bury
Rough cut, unshaped and unaffected from your jealousy
It'll take an earthquake to release it from this travesty
Give a girl an inch, she'll take a mile and you won't like what you see
It's already started, you won't like what you see, it's already started, started
She's becoming the girl she was always meant to be, yeah
No one left in her path, to stop her light from shining through, yeah
She found a diamond in the grave
I am a diamond in the grave
I found a diamond in the grave that you tried hard to bury
Rough cut, unshaped and unaffected from your jealousy
It'll take an earthquake to release it from this travesty
Give a girl an inch, she'll take a mile and you won't like what you see
It's already started, you won't like what you see, it's already started
