Poem Song

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, 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 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 glass

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
