Diamond

When I find myself awake
 I'll put my thoughts down on a page
 Half-asleep I'll make a list
 Then read back all my greatest hits:
 - Should meditate
 - Should work out more
 - Should read until my brain gets sore
 - Meet someone
 - Go far away
 - Try being socially less strange

 That's how a diamond grows
 You give yourself the right chance over time
 Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker
 I cut at least half of my friends
 But no one noticed or mentioned
 I thought at last I'd breathe easy
 But then I've thought a lot of things
 Hey New Year, Hey New You
 You left so much low-hanging fruit
 In the ring
 A title fight
 With only montage training time

 That's how a diamond grows
 You reach as far as you can and hold tight
 Don't believe them if they try to tell you something different
 They say a diamond grows with time
 I believe it
 Cause I've seen it with my eyes
 There's a guaranteed parade
 Of broken promises
 If you expect some kind of miracle
 You do what you can do
 That's all (all, all)
 That's how a diamond grows
 You give yourself the right chance over time
 Don't believe them if they try to sell you something quicker
 That's how a diamond grows
 With time
