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
