'Love Diamond' lyric analysis

Below, I have analysed the lyrics to 'Love Diamond', line by line. For this, I simply wrote down the first visual idea that came into my head when looking at each individual row. This in turn has constructed an initial narrative for our music video.

Don't you say, I love you again
A broken relationship trying to be fixed, but it young girl doesn't want to hear it. She puts her hand up to the speakers face. It's been heard before and it doesn't want to be heard again.
We're like a box love diamonds
A flashback, a box love diamonds - a box of memories.
You play the game on my heart
A sin - flirting with others when their should be commitment.
I feel the pain I'm not insane
Witnessing what is going on from a distance - feeling distort.
You spinning wires around my heart 
Flashbacks from when the two were in love.
You disappear in front of me and never come for me again
The young man in a bed alone, having identical flashbacks when their were two in a bed.
You took my love last night
Male running his hand up on the females leg and a zoom on the females lustful red lips.
Was it wrong or was it right
Running mascara and tears down the females face.
All I want is for your love diamonds (x2)
Slamming the door on the young man, with the girl sinking down and crying into her hands.
I miss your laugh and your eyes
A flashback of the two lovers together. Focusing on facial expressions.
When you look deep into mine
An extreme close-up, concentrating on the eyes.
It will rain when we kiss
The two kissing - the passion behind gestures of love.
And I'll make only one wish
I want to play on the strings
Of your mind and of your heart
Both the male and female, thinking about what has happened to each others love.
It hurts inside, I'm petrified
Thinking of the pain that the young man has caused.
Stars are floating around my eyes
The two are deep down, still in love with each other.
All I want is for your love diamonds (x2)
Identical scenario - The young man running his hand up the females leg and a zoom on the females lustful red lips. However, the outcome is positive - zoom out, smiles.
