Omar Rodríguez-López - Give It A Name lyrics

[Verse 1] Well, I never thought this day would end I walked the tired steps of latter day friends And all because your stubbornness was Smiling through your braces Never thought this day would come You threw the bricks that built this wall Amantillado at the top of your lungs And I can't hear you anymore [Chorus x2] So, take your diamond bland shaped tears And maybe I'll see you in twenty years And I will always wear your ring You know, the one that turned my finger green [Verse 1] Well, I never thought this day would end I walked the tired steps of latter day friends And all because your stubbornness was Smiling through your braces [Chorus 2 x3] You don't know what you've got 'til it's gone Silver platter of opportunity [Chorus 3 x3] Never taught what you thought you knew Meal tickets have been refused [Bridge] You gave me a reason To sing our last song [Chorus] So, take your diamond bland shaped tears And maybe I'll see you in twenty years And I will always wear your ring You know, the one that turned my finger green [Outro] And it's not you, it's me (x6) Silver platter of opportunity (x3)
