Polly Scattergood - Poem Song lyrics

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 and my soul so Please try to be kind if you are in control Because Time takes, time takes, time takes Time takes many tears away If I had some elegance, some heir or grace Or if I had, bu*tons 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 take, time takes Time takes many tears away Everybody seems to just turn a blind eye On the 159 to Brixton where a blonde girl cries And so I will always be that girl you never quite kissed And I have ribbons on my fingers and cuts on my wrist Cos time takes, time takes, time 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 Cos time takes, time takes, time takes Time takes many tears away Time takes, time takes, time takes courage And time time, takes many tears away Black and blue my petals fall on broken gla** Please teach me how to love and to forget the past Cos tiny steps I take each day but most days I crawl Please try to kind because I often fall Cos time takes, time takes, time takes Time takes many tears away
