Lyrics Aching - Lincoln Jesser , Nella

Are you looking for an invitation?
To come and live with a constant aching?
Have been wandering round and round
Trying to forget the sound of my heart breaking
There are traces of dark places
I have been to in my head
But they're fading
And the animal is waking up again

I see these diamonds in the dust
(You say they're only stones)
But I can show you what they're worth
(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)
And if you're looking for perfection in me
All you'll get is constant aching

All you'll get is constant...
(You say they're only stones)
(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)

It's like placing bets after the races
To take the risk is too complicated
This is our life, how can we face it?
It's only emptiness, so chase it
Take a picture of your life
Before the light begins to fade
Cause a photograph is all you'll have
When no one is left to say...

I see these diamonds in the dust
(You say they're only stones)
But I can show you what they're worth
(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)
And if you're looking for perfection in me
All you'll get is constant aching
(You say they're only stones)
(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)

All you'll get is constant...
(You say they're only stones)
(You'd never let them go, if you'd only known)
