Lyrics by: Ashley Alisha/Dept/Sonny Zero/clam

Composed by: Ashley Alisha/Dept/Im Hyunbin/Sunkiss

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 nightime

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 nightime

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

Cuz 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

...

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 nightime

Where I sit and write my mind

Don't take it away, take it away

Don't take it away
