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.

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.

My years of abuse are in the past
But I know the memories will always last.
Making room for more love was a difficult task
But all it took was a plea to God for me to ask.

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.

Sometimes I think I’m my worst enemy
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.

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.

Sometimes as I’m sitting out in the country
I wonder how long before I finally see
Just what this life has planned for me.
What is my true destiny?

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.
