I had a crush on the wrong girl. The lyrics lack
the usual bite I like to inject, but I like the
music.
Lyrics
I have never been so frightened in all my days
There is a gem that I want the
Master Jeweler to appraise
It is multi-faceted and stunning to behold
I'd have to be straight-jacketed
If it were ever sold
(chorus)
So I've asked my Father
The Jeweler up above
To give me His opinion
On the value of my love
My love
I don't have a pretty penny
And I have even less sense
If there's a kingdom for the clowns
Then I must be the prince
But in my royal dunce's cap
I'd only have one jewel
The diamond hard ice princess
That's making me the fool
(chorus)
And I know He's going to give me pause
I know I've overlooked the flaws
And I know it's because
I'm grasping and reaching
I'm babbling when speaking
I tell you I'm grasping at straws
Under the ground some carbon was buried
A million years ago
It has endured some terrible pressure
Greater than I know
Now the weight and clarity more than I can bear
Must I retain my sanity by claiming I don't care
(chorus)
And I know He's going to tell the truth
I asked Him if He would give me proof
And I know that I might lose
But I'm hoping beyond hope
I know He'll help me cope
But I've never been so confused
