Relentless Old Music
I got good at the quiet, I got good at the hide
Kept the truest part of me tucked somewhere inside
Wore a smile like a coat that was two sizes too thin
Said "I'm fine," said "I'm fine," and I let no one in
But a door standing barely ajar
Lets a little sun find where you are
So you don't have to hide in the dark anymore
Come out, come out — I'll be right here at the door
Every part of you is worth waiting for
Come into the light, come into the light
There's nothin' about you that you gotta make right
You were always allowed to be exactly this bright
So come into the light
So come into the light
Then somebody saw all the parts I kept hid
And they didn't flinch, didn't leave like I feared they did
They just said "there you are," like they'd waited so long
Like the me I'd been burying was right where I belong
And the door swung the rest of the way
And I stepped out into the day
So you don't have to hide in the dark anymore
Come out, come out — I'll be right here at the door
Every part of you is worth waiting for
Come into the light, come into the light
There's nothin' about you that you gotta make right
You were always allowed to be exactly this bright
So come into the light
So come into the light
So I'm done askin' pardon for takin' up space
Done dimmin' the color, done hidin' my face
If they can't love the true thing, well, that's theirs to hold
I'm steppin' out honest, I'm steppin' out gold
So you don't have to hide in the dark anymore
Come out, come out — I'll be right here at the door
Every part of you is worth waiting for
Come into the light, come into the light
There's nothin' about you that you gotta make right
You were always allowed to be exactly this bright
So come into the light
Come into the light
Come into the light
There you are
