Gone Are The Days
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
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]
