Hello sweet grief
I know you will be the death of me
Feel like the morning after ecstasy
I am drowning in an endless sea
Hello old friend
Here's the misery that knows no end
So I am doing everything I can
To make sure I never love again
I wish that I did not know
Where all broken lovers go
I wish that my heart was made of stone
Yeah if I was bulletproof
I'd love you black and blue
If I was solid like a jewel
If I had a diamond heart
Oh oh
I'd give you all my love
If I was unbreakable
If I had a diamond heart
Oh oh
You could shoot me with a gun of gold
If I was unbreakable
I'd walk straight through the bullet
Bendin' like a tulip
Blue-eyed and foolish
Never mind the bruises
Into the fire
Breakin' through the wires
Give you all I've got
If I had a diamond heart
I'd walk straight through the dagger
Never break the pattern
Diamonds don't shatter
Beautiful and battered
Into the poison
Cry you an ocean
Give you all I've got
Goodbye, so long
I don't know if this is right or wrong
Am I giving up where I belong?
'Cause every station is playing our song
Goodbye my love
You are everything my dreams made of
You'll be Prince and I'm the crying dove
If I only were unbreakable
I wish that I did not know
Where all broken lovers go
I wish that my heart was made of stone
Yeah if I was bulletproof
I'd love you black and blue
If I was solid like a jewel
If I had a diamond heart
Oh oh
I'd give you all my love
If I was unbreakable
If I had a diamond heart
Oh oh
You could shoot me with a gun of gold
If I was unbreakable
I'd walk straight through the bullet
Bendin' like a tulip
Blue-eyed and foolish
Never mind the bruises
Into the fire
Breakin' through the wires
Give you all I've got
If I had a diamond heart
I'd walk straight through the dagger
Never break the pattern
Diamonds don't shatter
Beautiful and battered
Into the poison
Cry you an ocean
Give you all I've got
I'd give you all my love
If I was unbreakable
You could shoot me with a gun of gold
If I was unbreakable
I'd walk straight through the bullet
Bendin' like a tulip
Blue-eyed and foolish
Never mind the bruises
Into the fire
Breakin' through the wires
Give you all I've got
I'd walk straight through the dagger
Never break the pattern
Diamonds don't shatter
Beautiful and battered
Into the poison
Cry you an ocean
Give you all I got
My interpretation of the lyrics
When the song begins with the lyrics, 'Hello sweet grief' which tells that the singer is experiencing a drastic painful experience of a heartbreak which has affected her a lot.
In the entire song the vocalist is saying that if she was as strong as a diamond which is basically unbreakable or if she was "bulletproof" and strong where she wouldn't get hurt mentally and emotional she would give her heart or her "love" to the person she is talking about. She does want be with the person but since she knows where "all the broken lovers go" and wants to avoid it even if it meant she would have to leave the person. It also says that she doesn't mind getting hurt but all she wishes for an unbreakable heart so that she doesn't have to bare the mental torture. She repeats this in the chorus when she sings that she is ready to walk through the dagger and the bullet for getting hurt. All she wants it to not to break apart and shatter like a glass.
How have i used this in my music video plot
So want to show the grief and anger of the woman who just lost her soulmate. She now knows where all the broken lovers go and doesn't want to go as she tries to cope up with the loss and builds mental barriers to be a void of emotion. This is all broken down because of the hallucination and when she tries to kill herself. She wishes that she has a diamond heart so that she desnt have to go through that again and that how she ends up in therapy.
