Song information

Lyrics

Do I dare even wear 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 quiety

Always at a distance
I wish you'd safely stayed
Despite my resistance
You sought me anyway

[Chorus]
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
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 my inside your eyes

[Chorus]
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
Took a hammer to the glass
To shatter all the pieces, the pieces of my past

[Chorus]
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
[Repeat until fade]
