In his mind, he's been to hell and back again 
 
 Left a trail of broken dreams 
 
 The smile you wear just hides your fear 
 
  
  On the edge of the night 
 
 You can't tell what's wrong from right 
 
 What went wrong with my mind 
 
 I've been bad, mistreated, they don't understand 
 
 Never make a diamond from a grain of sand 
 
 Out on my own nobody, I'd change if I could 
 
 I'm not a bad man, I'm just misunderstood... 
  
 
 Life's unkind, so hard upon an only child 
 
 Took it all out on the world 
 
 Don't you know two wrongs don't make a right 
 
 Look into my eyes 
 
 See the pain of a lifetime 
  
 
 I've been bad, mistreated, they don't understand 
 
 Never make a diamond from a grain of sand 
 
 Out on my own nobody, I'd change if I could 
 
 I'm not a bad man, I'm just misunderstood... 
 
 He wants to love somebody, nothing less 
 
 No man can take the pressure and loneliness 
 
 He's over the edge 
  
 
 I've been bad, mistreated, they don't understand 
 
 Never make a diamond from a grain of sand 
 
 Out on my own nobody, I'd change if I could 
 
 I'm not a bad man, I'm just misunderstood...
