Diamonds Burn

From the moment that they met
She knew she didn't stand a chance
She loved his wicked smile
When he pulled her closer as they danced
She toppled like a tree
When asked if she would be his wife
The diamonds in the ring
Supposed to hold his love for all her life

Captured by the fire
Of rapture and desire
There's just no easy way to learn
Diamonds burn

When she spent her nights alone
She didn't even bat an eye
Her father had strayed too
And she never saw her mother cry
But when she found the woman's note
The time and place agreed upon
The love before the name
She finally knew his heart was really gone

Captured by the fire
Of rapture and desire
There's just no easy way to learn
Diamonds burn

She wasn't that surprised
The night they brought his body home
A jealous husband found his wife
Fragrant with another man's cologne
She threw her ring into the fire
And saw the brief but brilliant flash
Some diamonds last forever
Some are destined to be nothing more than ash

Captured by the fire
Of rapture and desire
There's just no easy way to learn
Diamonds burn
