It Could Be Sweet Songtext
von Portishead

I don′t want to hurt you
No reason have I but fear
And I ain't guilty
Of the crimes you accuse me of
But I′m guilty of fear

I'm sorry to remind you
But I'm scared of what we′re creating
This life ain′t fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn now
Mmm, gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet
Like a long forgotten dream


And we don′t need them
To cast the fate we have
Love don't always shine through
′Cause I don't wanna lose
What we had last time
You′re leaving
This life ain't fair

You don't get something for nothing, turn now
Mmm, gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet

But the thoughts we try to deny
Take a toll upon our lives
We struggle on in depths of pride
Tangled up in single minds

′Cause I don′t wanna lose
What we had last time
You're leaving, this life ain′t fair

You don't get something for nothing, turn back
Mmm, gotta try a little harder

′Cause I don't wanna lose
What we had last time, you′re leaving
This life ain't fair, oh no

You don't get something for nothing, turn back
Mmm, gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet
