Lincoln Jesser - Aching lyrics

[Intro] 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 [Chorus] I see these diamonds in the dust (You say they're only stones)[x2] 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 [Bridge] All you'll get is constant... (You say they're only stones)[x2] (You'd never let them go, if you'd only known) [Verse 1] 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... [Chorus] (You say they're only stones)[x2] (You'd never let them go, if you'd only known) [Bridge]
