    Lyrics

    My friend Joe gets home from work,
    He lives across the street.
    He just bought a brand new car,
    And it sure looks sweet.

    I should be happy for him but I'm not,
    Close my eyes and try to breath,
    Cause all I see is all he's got,
    And all I want and all I need.

    This longing is shards of broken glass.
    And this craving has strewn them in my path.
    There's a splinter in my heart.

    Just lucky I tell myself as I get up to answer the phone.
    It's an old flame I haven't seen in years, calling up to say hello.
    Her life's good, job's great, lives on the coast by the bay.
    But I can feel a poison tide rising up to wash our friendship away.

    This longing has broken through the damn,
    And this craving it changes who I am.
    Why can't I remember?

    All that I want is in my heart,
    All that I need was here from the start,
    And everything I have is just enough,
    If I open my eyes diamonds in the rough I'll see,
    Waiting for me. (x2)

    Why is it so hard to see when I am lost in jealousy,
    That a grateful heart can help me through this pain?
    Why is it so hard to know when desire takes control,
    That a thankful heart can set me free again?

    All that I want is in my heart,
    All that I need was here from the start,
    And everything I have is just enough,
    If I open my eyes diamonds in the rough I'll see,
    Waiting for me. (x3)
