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 gla*s 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
