Polly Scattergood - Poem Song lyrics

rate me

I try not to let my insecurities<br />

Dictate who I am and who I want to be<br />

I gave you all my words and my words and my soul so<br />

Please try to be kind if you are in control<br />

<br />

Because<br />

Time takes, time takes, time takes<br />

Time takes many tears away<br />

<br />

If I had some elegance, some heir or grace<br />

Or if I had, buttons made of silver or tops made of lace<br />

Then I'd be that girl you want, I'd ooze with charm<br />

And I'd have, diamonds on my fingers and you on my arm<br />

<br />

But time takes, time take, time takes<br />

Time takes many tears away<br />

<br />

Everybody seems to just turn a blind eye, <br />

On the 159 to Brixton where a blonde girl cries<br />

And so I will always be that girl you never quite kissed<br />

And I have ribbons on my fingers and cuts on my wrist<br />

<br />

Cos time takes, time takes, time takes, <br />

Time takes many tears away<br />

<br />

If I was brave enough I'd get onto my knees<br />

And I would ask for you to try again to love me please<br />

Because I have never felt that unconditionally and<br />

Learning takes some time but don't give up on me<br />

<br />

Cos time takes, time takes, time takes, <br />

<br />

Time takes many tears away.<br />

Time takes, time takes, time takes courage<br />

And time time, takes many tears away.<br />

<br />

Black and blue my petals fall on broken glass<br />

Please teach me how to love and to forget the past<br />

Cos tiny steps I take each day but most days I crawl<br />

Please try to kind because I often fall<br />

<br />

Cos time takes, time takes, time takes<br />

Time takes many tears away
