Take Something Beautiful Songtext

von Jen Cloher

There's your picture on the wall
I took it long before I knew you
The little dress that you've got on
But I swear I can see right through you
That look upon your face
That's a look I'm forever chasing

I want to smile without regret
I want to die in my own bed
I want a free mind, not caged
I want a free mind, unburdened un-plagued

I think am from Nothing, nothing, nothing at all
I think am from Nothing, nothing, nothing at all

Take something beautiful and then go and smash it
Take something perfect and pervert it
Take something young and proud and then shame it
Make a promise out loud and then break it

I want to smile without regret
I want to die in my own bed
I want a free mind, not caged
I want a free mind, unburdened un-plagued

I'm not here I'm not there
I ain't anywhere at all
I'm not here I'm not there
I ain't anywhere at all

I think am from Nothing, nothing, nothing at all
I think am from Nothing, nothing, nothing at all.
