Shrinking Violet Songtext

von Mostly Autumn

Safe until the darkness falls
To loneliness a demon calls
Creeping in, arousing my fears
To breathe a language that no one else hears

Can I cope alone tonight?
The shrinking violet I've become inside
To you I may seem insecure
But did you know me what I was before?

I remember dancing as a child
A careless confidence danced with me
Whatever happened to the sun?
Only seemed to notice when it had gone

Lead me back to where it seems
I danced alone in sunlit dreams
Unafraid to play with fire
With a view through a child's eyes, naive and wild

Can I cope alone tonight?
The shrinking violet I've become inside
To you I may seem insecure
But did you know me what I was before?

I remember dancing as a child
A careless confidence danced with me
Whatever happened to the sun?
Only seemed to notice when it had gone

If I ever meet again with her
Could I tell her I could live with her?
If I ever meet again with her
I will tell her I could live with her

I will cope alone tonight
I'll fight these demons that I've tried to describe
I won't be so insecure
I will show you what I was before

I will dance then as a child
A careless confidence will dance with me
I'll be warmed there by the sun
You would notice when I had gone

Aaaah aaah aaaah aaah aah aah aaah aaah aaah aah
Aaaah aaah aaaah aaah aah aah aaah aaah aaah aah

Lala lala lala lala laal lala lala lala lala lala lala lalala lala lala lalala lala lalala lalalala lala lalalala lalala la
