Lyrics

[Zayn]
Diana

[Liam]
The front page is all your pictures,
They make you look so small,
How could someone not miss you at all?

[All]
(Oh-ah-oh)

[Harry]
I never would mistreat you,
Oh, I’m not a criminal,
I speak a different language but I still hear your call.

[All]
Diana,
Let me be the one to light a fire inside those eyes,
You've been lonely, you don’t even know me,
But I can feel you crying,
Diana,
Let me be the one to lift your heart up and save your life,
I don’t think you even realize, baby you’d be saving mine.

[Zayn]
Diana

[Niall]
It’s only been four months but,
You’ve fallen down so far,
How could someone mislead you at all?

[Louis]
I wanna reach out for you
I wanna break these walls
I speak a different language but I still hear you call.

[All]
Diana,
Let me be the one to light a fire inside those eyes,
You've been lonely, you don’t even know me,
But I can feel you crying,
Diana,
Let me be the one to lift your heart up and save your life,
I don’t think you even realize baby you’d be saving mine.

['Harry]'
We all need something,
This can’t be over now,
If I could hold you
Swear I’d never put you down.

[All]
Diana,
Let me be the one to light a fire inside those eyes,
You've been lonely, you don’t even know me,
But I can feel you crying,
Diana,
Let me be the one to lift your heart up and save your life,
I don’t think you even realize baby you’d be saving mine.

Zayn
(Oh-ah-oh)
Diana,
(Oh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Diana,

[Harry]
Baby you’d be saving mine
(Oh-ah-oh)
Diana,
(Oh-ah-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Diana,
Baby you’d be saving mine
