	Story Behind the Song Whenever I'm eating lunch at the college I go to, I usually see one or two kids who are always by themselves - kind of ousted from everyone else. One of the guys just seems like he'd have a good heart, so I came up with this song thinking about him. I also turned it into a song about me as well. Lyrics Is everyone moving forward Or are you the one moving back? Unable to face life's mirror Broken by all the things you lack. You think it'll always be this way. Closing your eyes you cry in shame. All you can do is hate yourself 'Cause all their lies chain you in pain. As the days come and go You're afraid of dieing unknown. But can't you hear the winds of change? They're calling your name. You're a diamond in the rough. Your love is not enough. You're a diamond in the rough. Walking away you can't forget The laughs of those you care about. You never did anything wrong But you question yourself in doubt. Theres no way out of this haze Unless you open up your eyes. When you do your tears will dry And you'll have the strength to prove you're right. Don't tilt your head down False kings wear false crowns. Can't you feel the fire inside? It burns in your eyes. You're a diamond in the rough. Your love is not enough. You're a diamond in the rough. So dust off and shine. Its your time to shine. I am the one that everyone shuns. I am the man who's too weak to stand. Though everything seems like one viscious dream. I have to wake for things to change. You're a diamond in the rough. Your love is not enough. You're a diamond in the rough. So dust off and shine. Its your time to shine.
