[00:00.00]I try not to let my insecurities
[00:11.79]Dictate who I am, and who I want to be
[00:22.52]I gave you all my words, and my words are my soul, so
[00:32.60]Please try to be kind if you are in control
[00:41.14]Because
[00:42.41]Time takes, time takes, times takes
[00:52.58]Time takes many tears away
[01:03.14]If I had some elegance, some airs or grace
[01:11.31]Or if I had buttons made of silver
[01:17.04]Or tops made of lace
[01:21.89]Then I'd be that girl you want
[01:26.77]I'd ooze with charm and I'd have
[01:31.06]Diamonds on my fingers and you on my arm
[01:38.94]But
[01:40.39]Time takes, time takes, times takes
[01:50.22]Time takes many tears away
[02:00.00]Everybody seems to just turn a blind eye
[02:08.97]On the one five nine to Brixton, when a blonde girl cries an so
[02:19.74]I will always be that girl you never quite kissed
[02:27.12]And I'll have ribbons on my fingers and cuts on my wrist
[02:36.38]Because
[02:37.78]Time takes, time takes, times takes
[02:47.05]Time takes many tears away
[03:46.66]If I was brave enough I'd get onto my knees
[03:54.99]And I would ask for you to try again to love me please
[04:04.26]Because I have never felt that unconditionally
[04:13.22]And learning takes some time but don't give up on me
[04:22.51]Because
[04:23.91]Time takes, time takes, times takes
[04:33.47]Time takes many tears away.
[04:42.89]Time takes, time takes, time takes courage!
[04:51.88]And time, time takes many tears away
[05:03.94]Black and blue my petals fall on broken glass
[05:11.76]Please teach me how to love and to forget the past
[05:20.63]cause tiny steps I take each day, but most days I crawl
[05:31.82]Please try to be kind because I often fall
[05:41.28]cause
[05:42.98]Time takes, time takes, times takes
[05:55.68]Time takes many tears away
