Gone Are The Days

Do I dare even where what I was thinking of?

My true colors bleeding on my sleeve

Do I chance the romance that I've been dreaming of

Instead of wishing for it quietly

And always at a distance

I wish you'd safely stayed

Despite my resistance

You sought me anyway

Gone are the days of all that I was afraid of

I've left behind the traces of who I've been

I'm no longer able to wrestle with this angel

And the closer you get, I can let you love me

I had found it was easier to dance around

The edges of who I could be

And if I chose to expose what grows deep down

Would you still desire what you see?

No more self-rejection

No longer paralyzed

This holy perfection

Is me inside your eyes

Gone are the days of all that I was afraid of

I've left behind the traces of who I've been

I'm no longer able to wrestle with this angel

And the closer you get, I can let you love me, you love me

Nevermind this mirror hanging on the wall

'Cause I could not pretend to be the fairest of them all

And took a hammer to the glass

To shatter all the pieces, the pieces of my past

Gone are the days of all that I was afraid of

I've left behind the traces of who I've been

I'm no longer able to wrestle with this angel

And the closer you get, I can let you love me

Gone are the days of all that I was afraid of

I've left behind the traces of who I've been

I'm no longer able to wrestle with this angel

And the closer you get, I can let you love me

Gone are the days of all that I was afraid of

I've left behind the traces of who I've been

I'm no longer able to wrestle with this angel

And the closer you get, I can let you love me
