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)
