Dancing with My Shadows

Lyrics
[Intro]
In the silence of a starless night
My shadows beckon me to make things right
[Verse 1]
Old postcards in a shoebox by my bed
Memories I thought I'd left for dead
They whisper in the dark, won't let me rest
Time to face the girl I was, put her to the test
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm tired of hiding, tired of pretending
This story needs a different ending
[Chorus]
I'm not running from my shadows anymore
They're part of who I've been and who I'll be
I'm not running from my shadows anymore
Time to let them dance right next to me
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Digging through the layers of my past
Finding pieces of myself that didn't last
Each fragment tells a tale I need to hear
Piecing them together, the picture's getting clear
[Pre-Chorus]
The girl I was still lives inside of me
It's time we had a talk, just her and me
[Chorus]
I'm not running from my shadows anymore
They're part of who I've been and who I'll be
I'm not running from my shadows anymore
Time to let them dance right next to me
[Bridge]
Every scar, every tear
Every laugh, every fear
They've all led me here
To this moment, standing tall
No more hiding, I'll face it all
[Interlude]
[Outro]
Now I'm dancing with my shadows, can't you see?
They're the teachers that I needed them to be
Yeah, I'm dancing with my shadows, finally
And the girl I was? She smiles back at me
