Poem Song歌词

I try not to let my insecurities
Dictate who I am, and who I want to be
I gave you all my words, and my words are my soul, so
Please try to be kind if you are in control

Because
Time takes, time takes, times takes
Time takes many tears away

If I had some elegance, some airs or grace
Or if I had buttons made of silver
Or tops made of lace
Then I'd be that girl you want
I'd ooze with charm and I'd have
Diamonds on my fingers and you on my arm

But
Time takes, time takes, times takes
Time takes many tears away

Everybody seems to just turn a blind eye
On the one five nine to Brixton, when a blonde girl cries an so
I will always be that girl you never quite kissed
And I'll have ribbons on my fingers and cuts on my wrist

Because
Time takes, time takes, times takes
Time takes many tears away

If I was brave enough I'd get onto my knees
And I would ask for you to try again to love me please
Because I have never felt that unconditionally
And learning takes some time but don't give up on me

Because
Time takes, time takes, times takes
Time takes many tears away.

Time takes, time takes, time take courage!
And time, time takes many tears away

Black and blue my petals fall on broken glass
Please teach me how to love and to forget the past
cause tiny steps I take each day, but most days I crawl
Please try to be kind because I often fall

cause
Time takes, time takes, times takes
Time takes many tears away
