Poem Song - Polly Scattergood
Written by：Polly Victoria Scattergood
I try not to let my insecurities
Dictate who I am and who I want to be
I gave you all my world and my words and my soul
So please try to be kinder 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 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
And so I will always be that girl that you never quite kissed
And I've 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 that time but don't give up on me
Cause
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
Because tiny steps I take each day but most days I crawl
Please try to be kind because I often fall
Because
Time takes time takes times takes time takes many tears away
