Becoming Lyrics - Singles - Christine Dente

These are my sidewalks 

They wounds around the neighborhood 

Always led me straight and safely home 

But now they're uneven 

'Cause roots move beneath them 

And time won't leave well enough alone 

And I had been trying to smooth these stones 

Thought I could make my way alone 

I tried the whimsical 

Gauzy pink dresses 

That spin in the wind when you twirl 

But somehow the princess gown 

Never did fit this girl 

So I fled the garden for the tower 

And I had been hiding behind these stones 

Thought I'd be well enough alone 

Then you came nearer 

You held the mirror 

I saw myself there in your eyes 

And I had been running 

Still you pursued 

I watched you move each heavy stone 

The thorns around me torn our skin 

But you kept coming through 

'Cause you won't leave well enough alone 

I am becoming what I once was 

The girl in the mirror of your love 

I am becoming, your love becomes me
