Kayleigh Leith Acre of Diamonds lyrics

They met in college, a few years ago
Got married had a couple of kids, the whole fairytale you know
And he was her prince charming til one day she got bored
The romance, hearts and flowers, well, they slipped out the door

Pre Chorus:
She lays awake at night and wonders how it would be
If she acts upon the smile from the man living down the street

Chorus:
She's already got everything she needs, right there inside herself
But she spends all her time watching seeds, sown by somebody else
She thinks the grass is greener, she wants some of their gold she sees shining
As she's sitting on…an acre of diamonds.

Verse 2:
He bought a big house, the biggest one on the block
Gonna climb that corporate ladder all the way to the top
He thinks boats and cars, swimming pools and country clubs
Will fill up that empty space but, it never does

Pre-Chorus:

Keeping up with the Jones's down the street is always tough
When you let things define who you are there's never enough

Chorus:
He's already got everything he needs, right there inside himself
But he spends all his time watching seeds sown by somebody else
He thinks the grass is greener, he wants some of their gold he sees shining
While he's sitting on…an acre of diamonds

Bridge:
The stories we tell ourselves are rarely true
The secret is, it's ok, to just be you

Chorus:
We've already got everything we need, right there inside ourselves
But we spend all our time watching seeds sown by somebody else
We think the grass is greener, we want some of their gold we see shining
When we're sitting on…an acre of diamonds
