You couldn't even bring yourself
To stay, oh no
You had to go
Spoil it all
I know you had to go
Now I find these endlessly
Colourblind days
To fill
You never will
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
Again
I dream
You come to me
(Come back to me)
And comfort me
But now I dream
Where did this time go
Where did this time go
Did your love go
I know
You have to go
Spoil it all
And now I know
You never will
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again
Just what you said was cold advice
I discovered sticks go with knives
I discovered I could've died in your chains
Still I feel, so won't you stay
Oh, babe
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
(Take this life)
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again
You had to go
Spoil it all
I know you had to go
Now I find these endlessly
Colourblind days
To fill
You never will
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
I dream
You come to me
(Come back to me)
And comfort me
But now I dream
Where did this time go
Where did this time go
Did your love go
You have to go
Spoil it all
And now I know
You never will
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again
I discovered sticks go with knives
I discovered I could've died in your chains
Still I feel, so won't you stay
Oh, babe
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
You understand, fine
Take this life
Take it all
In your hands
You were mine
I could smile
Again

both this life and pearl were recorded with portishead. they're really amazing tracks.
such a sad song... sigh to dream that someone has come back for you, and to wake up to realize that it will never be your reality... i can only imagine that it would have been better for the one who was left to not have awakened from the dream, the only chance to attain happiness...
