We were born alone
And we die alone, no
What a way to go
Now I'm on my own
But I'm not sorry, no

Look at me go
Look at me high and low
Look at me picking myself back up from the underground (Oh)
I've died a few times before
I know what it's like when I can't see the light
I find a light of my own

Shine like a diamond (Ooh)
Like a lonely diamond

We were born alone
And we die alone
No, no, no, no, no
What a way to go
Now I'm on my own (Now I'm on my own)
But I'm not sorry, no

Nobody's your friend at the start or at the end, no
You can't take them with you when you're dead, no
I'm a rebel, I'm a fighter
A brave outsider
The crowd gets thin
When the noose gets tighter

(Shine like a diamond)
'Cause I'm a lonely diamond, ah

We were born alone
And we die alone
No, no, no, no, no
What a way to go
Now I'm on my own (Now I'm on my own)
But I'm not sorry, no

Shine like a diamond (No, no, no)
Like a lonely diamond

We were born alone
And we die alone
No, no, no, no, no
What a way to go
Now I'm on my own (Now I'm on my own)
But I'm not sorry, no
