You say you fell while holding diamonds in your hands
"It's your fault for running, holding diamonds," I said
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
Better off, I sparkle on my own
And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I turned around three times and wound up at your door
Now you say you know all that you did not know before
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off, I sparkle on my own
And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I got your love letters
I threw them all away
And I hear you think that I'm crazy
I'm driving ninety-five
And I'm driving you away
And I shine a little more lately
And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I shine a little more lately
"It's your fault for running, holding diamonds," I said
And I offer no sympathy for that
I hear that it was you who died alone
Better off, I sparkle on my own
And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I turned around three times and wound up at your door
Now you say you know all that you did not know before
And I offer no sympathy for that
Better off, I sparkle on my own
And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I got your love letters
I threw them all away
And I hear you think that I'm crazy
I'm driving ninety-five
And I'm driving you away
And I shine a little more lately
And someday love will find me in the rough
Someday love will finally be enough
I shine a little more lately

"I turn around three times and wound up at your door."
The average number of times for an abused girl to return to her abusive boyfriend is three times. Clever lyrics.
hence "And someday, Love will find me
In the rough". Meaning a man will find her and want her for who she is and not what she looked like.
Also, it could be somthing other than her. Maybe he had a good life, or job, or was in a good relationship, and he was careless and just wasted it away. He "fell" while "holding diamonds."
LOL, so corny, yet so true!
Anyway, great song, regardless of what it means.
