Gone Are The Days - Nichole Nordeman

Do I dare even where 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 quitely

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 paralized

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)

Bridge:

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)
