[Verse]
She held a diamond but looked away
Eyes on the shimmer of cheap display
Chasing reflections that start to fade
Ignoring the stone that was self-made
[Verse 2]
He was a king building his own throne
Bricks from struggle he raised alone
But she saw the glitter
Not the grind
Left the treasure for what’s unrefined
[Chorus]
And the grass wasn’t greener
The shine didn’t last
She traded her diamond for a piece of glass
Now her hands are empty
The truth came fast
A queen must see worth in the love that’s steadfast
[Verse 3]
He stood strong
Castle walls grew tall
Turning her doubts into pillars of it all
Never bowed to her fleeting smile
A king rises higher
Mile by mile
[Bridge]
She looks back now
Regret in her hand
The glass shattered
No kingdom to stand
Her heart breaks with each silent beat
For the diamond she let slip beneath her feet
[Chorus]
And the grass wasn’t greener
The shine didn’t last
She traded her diamond for a piece of glass
Now her hands are empty
The truth came fast
A queen must see worth in the love that’s steadfast
