These days

I was blind,
I shoulda known it was coming,
I'd always escaped it before,
I fell in the swell of affection,
But I don't wanna sink anymore,
Your burning me down like a fire,
The rope getting tighter each
breathe that I take,
Watching the days getting longer
Wasting away.

Now I'm fighting, oh a feeling,
that is twisting on the inside,
I tried running, tried resisting,
but it's got a hold on me this time,
If I don't stand a chance,
Then let me down easy,
I don't wanna fall from this high
These days are the days I was
always afraid would arrive,

Oh cause I, I've had my share
of temptation,
But always left love to one side,
That never was part of the picture,
That's why it's hurting to hide,

Oh not sure if it's pleasure or pain
This changing emotion I'm in
Ye into the unknown I'm heading
Sent away
