Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] Report cards Trophies on the shelf You glanced right through Then checked yourself I learned to read your weathered face Storm or silence Never grace Every “good job” felt like a loan Due by dinner Interest grown [Chorus] I’ll never be the apple of his eye Guess I was planted in the wrong garden You tried to break me Bury me alive All of that pressure turned me bright You worked so hard to crush me Watch me shine then You pressed me down But I came up a diamond [Verse 2] You called it “tough love ” called me “too soft” Said “Grow a spine ” then tore me off Of every dream that scared you stiff You tried to crush me Then tried to sink my ship But every word you threw like glass I caught and wore it like a mask Till one day it just split in two Shards on the floor Light cutting through [Chorus] I’ll never be the apple of his eye Guess I was planted in the wrong sky You tried to break me Bury me alive All of that pressure turned me bright You worked so hard to crush me Watch me shine then You pressed me down But I came up a diamond [Bridge] Was it me you hated Or the mirror in my face All the chances that you wasted Every “can’t” you made my cage I carry your DNA Like a stone in my hand Now it’s carved Now it’s cut Now it’s part of who I am (oh) [Chorus] I’ll never be the apple of his eye But I’m done begging for that light You tried to break me Bury me alive All of that pressure turned me bright You worked so hard to crush me Watch me shine then You pressed me down But I came up a diamond You pressed me down Now everyone can find it You pressed me down But I came up a diamond
