The Diamond and the Coal

You were born to be a diamond I was cursed to be the coal Your beauty shines for all to see I hide in a cold dark hole They marvel at your reflection And talk about your shine They said that I'm too ordinary To ever make you mine It's kind of like that fairytale Beauty and the Beast One of the most beautiful things In love, with one of the least They said I couldn't keep you You would turn your head in shame And that you were just too special To take on my last name But when it's right, you know it is Deep down in your soul Like the marriage in this fairytale Between the diamond and the coal
