It Could Be Sweet
Portishead
Dummy (1994)

I don't want to hurt you
For 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
Mmmm 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 thru
Cos I don't wanna lose
What we had last time your
leaving
This life ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn now
Mmmm 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
Cos I don't wanna lose
What we had last time your
leaving
This life ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn back
Mmmm gotta try a little harder
Cos I don't wanna lose
What we had last time your leaving
This life ain't fair
You don't get something for nothing, turn back
Mmmm gotta try a little harder
It could be sweet
