Unveiling Beauty in Shadows: The Goo Goo Dolls' Transformative Anthem
Lyrics
There's so much more about you that you never let them see
There are aspects about you that you keep hidden from others.
You turn away
You avoid facing certain things or people.
But not to me
Despite turning away from others, you haven't turned away from me.
And I know how they tried to take you
Others have tried to harm or manipulate you.
Held you up and meant to break you down
They aimed to weaken and break you down.
But you can't be
Despite their attempts, you remain resilient.
For so long I tried to reach you
I've been trying to connect with you for a long time.
I know I'm almost there
I feel close to reaching you; there's progress.
I'm close enough for you to see
I'm close enough for you to notice and acknowledge.
You've been hiding in the shadows
You've been concealing yourself in the background.
Have you forgotten how we used to dream
Have you forgotten our shared dreams from the past?
Let me remind you
Let me remind you of those dreams.
The light doesn't blind you at all
The light doesn't blind you; it illuminates.
It just helps you see
It helps you see things clearly.
Can you see
Can you perceive?
Yeah you have become
You have transformed into something significant.
Yeah you have become beautiful
You have become beautiful.
And I can't be the stranger
I can't be a stranger who's merely sharing your bed.
That's been sleeping in your bed just
Turn around and come to me; acknowledge our connection.
Turn around and come to me
I sense the pain you're feeling inside.
I feel all the pain inside
You're experiencing all the denied emotions.
And everything you been denied you feel
It's overwhelming; it's all you feel.
It's all you feel
You've been hiding in the shadows
Have you forgotten our shared dreams from the past?
Have you forgotten how we used to dream
Let me remind you of those dreams.
Let me remind you
The light doesn't blind you; it illuminates.
The light doesn't blind you at all
It helps you see things clearly.
It helps you see
Can you perceive?
Can you see
Yeah you have become
You have become beautiful.
Yeah you have become beautiful
-Yeah you have become
You have transformed into something significant.
Yeah you have become beautiful
You have become beautiful.
Brush back your hair and look around you
Adjust your appearance and observe your surroundings.
Feeling like the truth has found you here
Feel like you've discovered the truth within you.
You're here with me
You're present with me in this moment.
Let love become the mirror
Let love be the reflection in the mirror without fear of your origin.
With no fear where you're from
You have transformed into something beautiful.
You have become beautiful
