Songtext A million pearls My Brightest Diamond

A million pearls

I tried to tell you what I can do
But you won't believe what you cannot see
Oh well, oh well, oh well
Oh well, oh well, oh well

Thanks to all the times it was said
You can't, you can't, you can't
Well, I did, I do, I do
Well, I did, I did, I do

And cheers to all of them who said
"There's a million pearls just like you"
Now where'd they disappear to?
Now where'd they disappear to?

I wanted to go high
I wanted you to recognize
Something you saw worth keeping
Oh well, oh well, oh well

If I show you my disgrace
Will you still display distaste
If I bare to you my-
Will it mean anything to you at all

When I offer up my mouth
How you spit me out
'til I learn to be proud
On an ocean floor I'm found
As just one of the million other

A million
A million
A million pearls
A million
A million
A million pearls
A million
A million
A million pearls
