  • Woah, oh, oh
    Woah, oh
    Woah, oh, oh

    Slapped my face, slammed the door
    A dozen roses lay on the floor
    I saw her friends and I was told
    She blocked my number from her cell phone
    You said we were meant to be
    Now this obsession is killing me
    Until I have a heart attack
    I'll keep on trying to win you back

    Alone at last,
    I can't wait 'till we're alone at last
    All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
    To hold you in my arms at last

    Forever, forever
    I'll walk a thousand miles
    Just to tell her, to tell her
    Our love is still alive
    And I'll never, I'll never
    I'll never let it die
    Well you'd better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine

    I'm not so sure about this word
    But she kept calling me insecure
    I tried to quit but there's no use
    Cause I'm addicted to her abuse
    She's in control of everything
    I'm just a puppet, she pulls my strings
    Denying truth, I'll test my fate
    And keep on playing this wicked game

    Alone at last,
    I can't wait 'till we're alone at last
    All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
    To hold you in my arms at last

    Forever, forever
    I'll walk a thousand miles
    Just to tell her, to tell her
    Our love is still alive
    And I'll never, I'll never
    I'll never let it die
    Well you'd better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Waiting to explode

    We're dancing on thin ice before
    Frozen from the winter's cold
    And if it were to crack below
    I'd never let you go

    Alone at last,
    I can't wait 'till we're alone at last
    All I wanted was a second chance, second chance
    To hold you in my arms at last

    Forever, forever
    I'll walk a thousand miles
    Just to tell her, to tell her
    Our love is still alive
    And I'll never, I'll never
    I'll never let it die
    Well you'd better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Waiting to explode

    Better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Better watch your step
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Better not touch
    She's a diamond on a landmine
    Better to forget
    She's a diamond on a landmine
