Christine Dente Becoming Lyrics

Becoming Lyrics

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
