I was dressed up in ribbons for you to undress
All the shining shimmering things, till there was nothing left
And I was once upon a time something worth fighting for
Until you won me and there was no need to fight anymore

So hang on
Cause the ribbon is slipping through your hands
And I'm falling into the earth

Misplace the diamond for its worth
Misplace the diamond for its worth

See all the good things in your hands won't last forever
And overthrowing your power won't make it better
And you could have had all of me while you had the chance
But maybe this time I won't be coming back

So hang on
Cause the ribbon is slipping through your hands
And I'm falling into the earth
Yeah I'm falling, yeah I'm falling
Yeah I'm falling, yeah I'm falling
Yeah I'm falling, yeah I'm falling

Hang on
Cause the ribbon is slipping through your hands
And I'm falling into the earth

Misplace the diamond for its worth
Misplace the diamond for its worth
