Better Off

I wanna listen, but I can't sit still
Just quiet and calm, but I guess I never will
I could go, but I won't

Too many rules to tie a man down
Don't know what to do, it just wears me out
I could break, but I won't

The stars on my arm remind me of you
Why did they have to? Why did they leave so soon?
I could cry, but I won't

Sometimes you're better off without me
Sometimes you're better off alone

I wanna run, but I can hardly breathe
My head is full with thoughts that I don't need
I wish I'd let them all go

So much to do, but I'm on my way
So many songs to sing, so many things to say
So many reasons to know

Sometimes you're better off without me
Sometimes you're better off alone
I want you to stay here with me
'Cause tomorrow maybe you'll be gone
Maybe you'll be gone

Pressure makes Diamonds

Pressure makes diamonds, not silver or gold
It breaks to pieces the hardest of stone
And it shines brighter than the stars that you know
Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off

Pressure makes diamonds, no giant can hold
He thought he could carry this world on his own
But even the strongest can't do it alone
Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off

You have to sharpen the edges, smoothen the surface
It'll take you some time 'cause it's rough and it's tough

Then you will find what you're looking for
They'll appear like a falling star
Shake off the dirt and let it shine

Pressure makes diamonds, a long heavy road
First the weight on your shoulders, it's crushing your bones
And then it gets darker than the blackest of coal
Then pressure makes diamonds, 'cause hard work pays off

You have to sharpen the edges, smoothen the surface
It'll take you some time 'cause it's rough and it's tough

Then you will find what you're looking for
They'll appear like a falling star
Shake off the dirt and let it shine

Pressure makes diamonds, not silver or gold
It breaks to pieces the hardest of stone
And it shines brighter than the stars that you know
Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off
Pressure makes diamonds and hard work pays off
