Analysis of 2020/10/02 ~ Diamond In The Rough

Can’t I just step up and save the day?
No-one really thought me a hero anyway.
There’s secrets I’d take with me to the grave
And even in death, my face would not betray!

My story don’t really start with a “once upon a time”
And I know sometimes I step out of line.
But who has to say a dollar ain’t worth a dime?
Maybe I’m just a diamond in the rough.
Man, I’ve had my shares of troubles and trials
And maybe sometimes I’m still in denial.
There’s been plenty of times I’ve had to go the extra mile
But maybe this heart’s just full of broken love.

Life ain’t always peaches and roses,
Yeah, it throws up curves and it throws us surprises.
Maybe soon, I’ll find that one special kiss,
But for now, I’ll have to settle for this.

But I know the memories will always last.

But all it took was a plea to God for me to ask.

And there’s nothing I can do to stop what’s troubling me.
Everyone I know has told at least one lie
And maybe this time, mine will be that I never cry.
