Lyrics These Days - Richard Fleeshman

I was blind, I should've known what was coming
I'd always escaped it before
I fell in the swell of affection
But I don't wanna sink anymore

You're burning me down like 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
Never was part of the picture
Well that's why it's hurting to hide

My secret dependence upon you
If you would have know where to look on my face
I couldn't get out if I had to
I'm [Incomprehensible] this place and

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

'Cause 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, well, always afraid would arrive
