Blazer Days

I've always been too polished, squeaky clean Even in my dreams, I would whisper, never scream I've always been too honest with myself Quietly I'd tell all my flaws to go to hell So when you entered my life I hid my scars from the light And covered up, fighting for your love You cleared the smoke from my eyes Taught me to love from inside And sure enough, I was enough I used to be scared to be dangerous Didn't want to endanger us Thought I'd kill you with a papercut You said "Babe, come closer You can lose composure" I used to dress sharp like a barbed wire fence Wore blazers like confidence My defenses raised high but Knowing you has brought me closure Now my blazer days are over Over Over Now my blazer days are over I wear my colors proudly on display Finally I can say "I am worthy, come what may" I speak my truth so loudly, rain or shine With you by my side, I no longer wanna hide Strip off the layers of shame And let the world know my name Free myself of everything but love You keep on fanning my flame I can't help but do the same And start to trust that I'm enough I used to be scared to be dangerous Didn't want to endanger us Thought I'd kill you with a papercut You said "Babe, come closer You can lose composure" I used to dress sharp like a barbed wire fence Wore blazers like confidence My defenses raised high but Knowing you has brought me closure Now my blazer days are over Over Over Now my blazer days are over Over Over Now my blazer days are over And I see myself clearly Whenever you are near me Because you hear me sincerely I hold onto that feeling when you're gone Now I know who I am even when I'm pretending with them Cause you said that you're gonna always love me And I love me now Cause you showed me how Even if you don't stay I think that feeling's gon' stay Now I'll never be lonely, baby But I'm never gon' say I want you to go away Just don't let go of me Cause every time you hold me closer I'm feeling like I get to know her, the real me And show her that my blazer days are over
