Nichole Nordeman - Gone Are the Days Lyrics lyrics

rate me

Do I dare even wear what I was thinking of

My true colors bleeding on my sleeve

Do I chance the romance that I've been dreaming of

Instead of wishing for it quiety

Always at a distance

I wish You'd safely stayed

Despite my resistance

You sought me anyway

[chorus]

Gone are the days

Of all that I was afraid of

I've left behind the traces of who I've been

I'm no longer able

To wrestle with this angel

And the closer You get

I can let You love me

I had found it was easier to dance around

The edges of who I could be

If I chose to expose what grows deep down

Would You still desire what You see

No more self-rejection

No longer paralyzed

This holy perfection

Is my inside Your eyes

[chorus]

Gone are the days

Of all that I was afraid of

I've left behind the traces of who I've been

I'm no longer able

To wrestle with this angel

And the closer You get

I can let You love me (You love me)

Nevermind this mirror hanging on the wall

Cause I could not pretend to be the fairest of them all

Took a hammer to the glass

To shatter all the pieces, the pieces of my past

[chorus]

Gone are the days

Of all that I was afraid of

I've left behind the traces of who I've been

I'm no longer able

To wrestle with this angel

And the closer You get

I can let You love me

[repeat until fade]
