Diamonds to Ashes Lyrics

I said happy birthday
And I’m so glad you’re here
I hold on to you and never let you go
If you’d let me near

I said happy birthday
I know this must sound weird
I know you were made for me
And that’s why they put you here

So why do you turn my diamonds to ashes
Diamonds to ashes
Diamonds to ashes

I said happy birthday
I know you must be scared
You don’t know me but this burden
I just can’t bear

I said happy birthday
You’re so old(?) I fear
That if I ever get close to you
You might disappear

So why do you turn my diamonds to ashes
Diamonds to ashes
Diamonds to ashes

I said happy birthday
I know that you can’t hear
But don’t try to find me
Because all you’ll find is I’m not there

I said happy birthday
Why the fuck won’t you disappear
I can’t stand to be myself
Not for another year

So why do you turn my diamonds to ashes
Diamonds to ashes
Diamonds to ashes

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
