Unveiling the Fragility of Forever: Amanda Fields' Diamonds
Lyrics
I don't know any lawyers, I didn't think I'd have two
The singer didn't expect to deal with legal matters or have multiple lawyers involved.
When I signed on the line and took the same name as you
Upon signing a legal document, likely related to marriage ("took the same name as you"), the singer feels uncertain about ending the situation they're in.
How am I supposed to end it if I don't know where to start
The singer is unsure where or how to begin resolving the situation.
Or hold it together when we're falling apart
Struggling to maintain composure amidst difficulties in the relationship.
Questions in my mind still stir
The singer is plagued by unanswered questions.
But right now just one thing's for sure
Despite uncertainty, the singer is sure about one thing in the present moment.
Diamonds aren't forever
Asserts that diamonds, typically seen as forever-lasting, don’t hold that permanence.
Hearts can change like the weather
Emphasizes that emotions and commitments, like hearts, can change unexpectedly.
Once a sky so blue can turn to grey
Illustrates the contrast between a once bright and optimistic situation (a clear sky) and its potential to darken or become troubled (turn to grey).
And 'I do' can turn to 'I don't' someday
Expresses the uncertainty surrounding a commitment, implying that 'I do' (commitment) can evolve into 'I don't' (dissolution) at some point.
There's a whole lot of lessons to learn in these times
Recognizes that there are significant lessons to be learned during challenging times.
But right now I feel like I'm walking around blind
The singer feels lost and uncertain, lacking direction.
I found peace in a bottle and my momma's voice
Finding solace in alcohol ("peace in a bottle") and the comforting voice of their mother during distress.
When I called to tell her, I said it wasn't my choice
The singer conveyed to their mother that the situation they're in wasn't a choice they wanted.
There's questions in everyone's mind
Reflects that everyone is grappling with unanswered questions or uncertainties.
How'd it ever lose its shine
Poses a question about how something as valuable as a diamond could lose its allure or significance.
Well, diamonds aren't forever
Reiterates that diamonds, seen as enduring, might not last forever.
Hearts can change like the weather
Reaffirms that emotions and commitments can change abruptly, akin to the unpredictability of weather.
Once a sky so blue can turn to grey
Repeats the analogy of a once bright situation turning gloomy or uncertain.
And 'I do' can turn to 'I don't' someday
Reemphasizes the uncertainty of commitments evolving from positive ('I do') to negative ('I don't').
Once a sky so blue can turn to grey
Reiterates the analogy of a positive situation turning uncertain or troubled.
And 'I do' can turn to 'I don't' someday
Reaffirms the uncertainty and potential dissolution of commitments.
