Lyrics for Diamond Rings 2007

Oh it takes my life away To think of her as gone Now I'm running down the maze And I'm finding only war Blowing down the flame To catch the burning wind Now I'm running out of steam Now watch this man collapse You said you wanted a better life And you will tell me what you find And then I'll stay the whole night through And I'll turn from sad to blue Yes I'm choking after you (?) Yeah I'm choking after you Wish you'd think of me The way I think of you Well I find it hard to breathe Cause now I know the truth So what good would fingers be If it weren't for diamond rings? Now I know you're leaving me And I know that I'm no king And you said you wanted a better life And you will tell me oh what you find And then I stay the whole night through And I turn from sad to blue Yeah I'm choking after you Miss, I'm choking now, do you? (Go ahead now, tell them all about it) So what good would fingers be If it weren't for diamond rings? Now I know you're leaving me And I know that I'm no king
