I got something like a funny feeling Stare at self-portraits 'til I cry Take it away, take it away Just take it away A cafe terrace gleaming in the nighttime Where I sit and write my mind Don't take it away, take it away Don't take it away Wish you could see what I see, babe Before it really is too late I know sometimes it's hard to take a step away If I could gather some words to explain It's almost like light shines through your pain Emotion I never knew awake But at the time I didn't know One in a million things you showed Straight from your heart miles apart Who was it for? I got something like a funny feeling Stare at self-portraits 'til I cry Take it away, take it away Just take it away A cafe terrace gleaming in the nighttime Where I sit and write my mind Don't take it away, take it away Don't take it away I wouldn't say I have misfortune 'Cause there's nothing I would change I'm just waiting for my moment But is it in vain? And every piece that I've been painting Should I throw them all away? The night cafe, flower vases Bring me pain I wrote my pain to what you hear But I know that they don't care But I know that you don't care, ooh, no, no I'm sorry for whatever I put you through It's not easy putting down All of your love on a canvas but you I got something like a funny feeling Stare at self-portraits 'til I cry Take it away, take it away Just take it away A cafe terrace gleaming in the nighttime Where I sit and write my mind Don't take it away, take it away Don't take it away
