[Intro — soft piano, distant vocals]
Everyone sees them sparkle…
Nobody asks why they’re falling.
Candy Viper…
[Verse 1 — fragile vocals]
Another night dressed in gold,
Another room that feels so cold,
Everybody knows my name,
But nobody sees behind the fame,
Smiling underneath the lights,
Holding pieces of my life,
Sometimes dreams that finally appear,
Still leave you crying diamond tears,
[Pre-Chorus — emotional rise]
I got everything I wanted,
But sometimes I still feel haunted,
All the things I had to lose…
To become someone they’d choose,
[Chorus — powerful emotional hook]
Crying diamond tears,
Beautiful but broken,
All my hidden fears,
In every word unspoken,
They shine when they fall,
But they still disappear,
Nobody sees the pain
Inside these diamond tears,
Diamond tears…
[Verse 2 — reflective]
Every crown has a little weight,
Every dream has a price you pay,
Every castle has empty rooms,
Every flower doesn’t always bloom,
I’m grateful for the life I made,
Wouldn’t trade the roads I paved,
But even stars above the atmosphere,
Sometimes cry their diamond tears,
[Pre-Chorus 2 — bigger emotion]
I built a world from imagination,
Turned my scars into inspiration,
But sometimes when the music ends…
I need myself more than a friend,
[Chorus — powerful emotional hook]
Crying diamond tears,
Beautiful but broken,
All my hidden fears,
In every word unspoken,
They shine when they fall,
But they still disappear,
Nobody sees the pain
Inside these diamond tears,
Diamond tears…
[Bridge — stripped vocal showcase]
If they could see me now,
Without the perfect smile,
Would they stay?
Would they walk away?
If I lost everything tomorrow…
Would they love me the same?
[vocal run]
[Verse 3 — emotional realization]
I spent years chasing perfection,
Searching mirrors for affection,
Thought the spotlight held the cure,
But I needed something more,
Every crack became a lesson,
Every heartbreak was a blessing,
Now I see through all my fears,
There’s beauty inside diamond tears,
[Final Pre-Chorus — vulnerable build]
I don’t have to hide the damage,
I don’t have to disappear,
Even diamonds lose their sparkle…
When they’re never held sincere,
[Final Chorus — cinematic ending]
Crying diamond tears,
Beautiful but broken,
All my hidden fears,
Finally out in the open,
Maybe every scar
Made my vision clear,
Maybe I found myself…
Inside these diamond tears,
Diamond tears…
[Outro — whispered]
Diamonds are made under pressure…
So was I.
