Some Hearts Are Diamonds

The lyrics describe someone speaking to a person who has been hurt and disappointed in love. The speaker offers reassurance and says their own love has lasted through the years. The mood moves between sadness, shown in the listener’s tears and fading dreams, and hope for a relationship that could make both people feel less alone.

“Diamonds” and “stone” suggest different ways hearts can respond: a diamond may stand for something precious or strong, while stone may suggest emotional hardness or distance. “A rainbow of tears” combines sadness with an image often associated with beauty, perhaps hinting that painful experiences can contain mixed feelings. The idea that it “takes two lovers to be as one” suggests closeness depends on both people, not just one person’s desire.

The song’s speaker sounds confident about wanting the other person, but the other person’s feelings are less certain. The speaker hopes their love will grow and asks for mutual affection, so the lyrics do not confirm that the relationship will succeed. The repeated contrast between diamonds and stone may describe people in general, or it may express the speaker’s worry that love can be tender in one moment and guarded in another.
