Counting trains rushing by
I wonder if she's on one
Endless plains drifting past
Like nothing ever changed

But I am not a saint, I get angry too
They say people never change, but I know we do

One day I'm gonna burn to ashes
Don't put me in the ground that way
Turn me into a little diamond
And wear me on a silver chain
And wear me on a silver chain
Wear me on a silver chain

Twenty-eight, how was that?
Did you find your ever after?
Grinding days through the cracks
Unraveling the past

And I can't be a saint, though you'd like me to
Making a mistake doesn't mean I'm cruel
I know I shouldn't say that I needed you
You'd only pull away 'cause you know it's true
One day I'm gonna burn to ashes
Don't put me in the ground that way
Turn me into a little diamond
And wear me on a silver chain
And wear me on a silver chain
Wear me on a silver chain

Like everyone we ever knew
We're gonna make mistakes like it's all we can do
We carry on, we stumble through
Say you'll save a space for somebody who loves you
Somebody you once loved

One day I'm gonna burn to ashes
Don't put me in the ground that way
Turn me into a little diamond
And wear me on a silver chain
