Look at these seven diamonds
They were from me to you
To show you mattered in my life
For all I vowed to do
It started back in high school
Us geeky little kids
We never joined in anything
That everyone else did
But still we had eachother
We'd laugh, we'd joke, we'd flirt
Sit down at recess everyday
To ease eachothers' hurt
You weren't my first girlfriend
I knew how love could be
Yet I had no doubt in my mind
You were the one for me
And when we took it farther
When we walked home that day
We almost did it right there, but
My heart got in the way
I didn't want to change you
Or even how we'd be
If I had done those things right then
What would that say of me?
You must have been impatient
Come three years up in time
Got pregnant from another man
And then dropped me a line
You say you want to see me
And what was I to do?
While stuck here between love and angst
And still attached to you
And beautiful as ever
Though larger 'round the hips
But still I wanted to hold you
To kiss you on your lips
You said you're getting married
That made me want to die
And then you pull the Joker card
And make me meet the guy!?
Did you want my approval?
Easier said than done
It took one look to realize
He's in it for the fun
He never really loved you
He didn't want that kid
And if he had, he'd never pull
The bullshit that he did
I knew the day I saw him
He was a piece of shit
He didn't treat you right at all
His presence made me sick
I couldn't stand to watch it
I had to get away
I left my mark for you to keep
And said goodbye that day
And now the truth should come out
When I came overseas
I stayed here to escape the pain
That spread like a disease
I never could forget it
No matter what I'd do
A year went by, and still i cried
Just thinking about you
And then I get a letter
Your life has changed it's course
Restraining order, PFA
On top of a divorce
That motherfucker beat you
That day I lost my head
I swore that if I saw that guy
The asshole would be dead
And then you see who loves you
And need me back again
I sit down now and wonder why
I didn't see it then
I still had feelings for you
I still felt lots of things
I even planned to come back home
I even bought the rings!?
But you, you fucking psycho
Stop talking, just like that
No one I knew could get to you;
Like you were off the map
What does that do to someone
You've known for seven years?
You never took that fact to heart
When you left me in tears
For years I suffered with this
I held it on my own
And finally decided that
It's best to be alone
You killed my former person
I'll never be the same
But even though you hurt me so
I still take half the blame
Too many times I've loved you
Not one, not two, but three
And every time you broke my heart
And made a fool of me
I'm done with you forever
Your ring, I'm glad, is gone
I still have mine to give me hope
It's how I carry on
I come home in a while now
Don't think that I'm your man
I've seen your tricks to many times
And won't do it again
So if I ever see you
I'll have nothing to say
But, "What the fuck's your problem, Cass?"
Then turn and walk away.
