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 |
