Verse She left home when she was 17 thought she'd found the man of her dreams promised her love until they die all she got was pain and lies he took away the girl she knew turned her into to someone blue down and out, so lost inside she wonders how she’ll survive Chorus (and she’s thinking) Can I live without you can I make it on my own there's going to come a time getting stronger every day 10 thousand reasons to leave but not one to stay I know what I have to do pretty soon I’m sure I’ll say, goodbye Verse 20 years didn’t change the man still, she thought she needed him to stand when all he did was knock her down one day she finally came around She found strength from deep inside from the pain she could no longer hide he didn’t think she’d really go can’t stop the heart of a free soul Chorus Can I live without you can I make it on my own there's going to come a time getting stronger every day 10 thousand reasons to leave but not one to stay I know what I have to do pretty soon I’m sure I’ll say, goodbye Bridge I’ve risen above you, my heart says leave I’ve served a sentence, I’ve earned reprieve Faded love and shattered dreams broken promises, hope unseen the love is gone and so am I, good bye Chorus I can live without you I can make it on my own It’s so much better everyday never needed you anyway tears are gone, strength remains filled with joy, no more pain I can live without you never needed you anyway never needed you anyway

Diamond Soul V Just using your eyes, you could look past a gem. Treasures of life can’t always be seen. Her soul is bright and strong like a princess warrior, a cruel world can’t tarnish her sheen. You can’t see a feeling when it touches your heart, but you damn sure know it’s there. You can search forever to the ends of the earth, but never find a jewel so rare Ch She’s got an angel face, a heart of gold, and she’s got a diamond soul. There’s a bounty of love, a rainbow of happiness for you, if you capture a heart so true She’s got an angel face, a heart of gold. and she’s got a diamond soul. V Time spent with her lingers with euphoric grace, glad for the treasure you found. Glimmering with a love that anyone would die for it’ll surely never let you down Be kind to her she’ll be a friend like you never had, sharing is her middle name. Quick to reach out to give you a helping hand, treats all God’s children the same. Ch She’s got an angel face, a heart of gold, and she’s got a diamond soul. There’s a bounty of love, a rainbow of happiness for you, if you capture a heart so true She’s got an angel face, a heart of gold. and she’s got a diamond soul. Bridge Bask in the happiness to find her love. She’s a jewel that glitters in a field of stones. Made for a world beyond our thoughts, with riches you’ve never known Ch She’s got an angel face, a heart of gold, and she’s got a diamond soul. There’s a bounty of love, a rainbow of happiness for you, if you capture a heart so true She’s got an angel face, a heart of gold. and she’s got a diamond soul.
