Marina And The Diamonds - Solitaire (Lyrics)

[Verse 1]

Don't wanna talk anymore

I'm obsessed with silence

I go home and I lock my door

I can hear the sirens

I see buildings and bars from the window

And I listen to the wind blow

I see people and cars covered in gold

And I'm happy to be on my own

[Pre-Chorus]

Hard like a rock, cold like a stone

White like a diamond, black like coal

Cut like a jewel, yeah I repair

Myself when you're not there

[Chorus]

Solitaire

Something you consider

Rare

I don't wanna be compared

With that cheap shimmer and glitter

Solitaire

[Verse 2]

I'm in love with ice blue grey skies of England

I'll admit all I wanna do is get drunk and silent

Watch my life unfold all around me

Like a beautiful garden

I see flowers so tall they surround me

Oh my heart, it became so hardened

[Pre-Chorus]

[Chorus]

[Bridge]

And all the other jewels around me

They astounded me at first

I covered up my heart in boundaries

And all the fakes they called me cursed

But I'm not cursed, I'm not cursed

I was just covered in the dirt

[Chorus]
