SONG: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 quitely
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 paralized
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)
Bridge:
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)
