It Could Be Sweet Lyrics - Dummy - 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 

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 through 

'Cause I don't want to 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 

'Cause I don't want to 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 

'Cause I don't want to 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
