Diamonds Don't Always Shine

The diamonds on my finger
Have slowly lost the shine
The circle is broken
Our love no longer entwined

If our love was real
It would not weigh me down
I took vows before God
In my wedding gown

I remember that day clearly
As I stood before God and Friends
I promised you forever
I vowed to love you til the end

My plan was to stand beside you
Until death us do part
But that was before I knew
You had no love for me in your heart

If I walk out, I will be a sinner
If I stay here, I am a fool
How can I keep on loving you
When you treat me so cruel

You hide away your feelings
I am not even your friend
But I am supposed to love you
Until the bitter end

You ignore my conversation
As if I am not here
You look at me with laughter
When I shed my tears

This is not a marriage
Surely not what God intended
He would not punish me
With a marriage that has ended

I have prayed everyday
For the past few years
I cannot understand
Why God has kept me here

He knows I am unhappy
Why won't he set me free
And let me love somebody
Who means the world to me

When I wake up tomorrow
I will pray again
Hoping God will send me
A husband and a friend

I don't need money
Or a big house where we reside
I just want to be happy
I need a love that will survive
