Nichole Nordeman Album: Wide-Eyed Track: Gone Are the Days
Gone Are the Days Lyrics
Do I dare even wear what I was thinkin' of
My true colors bleeding on my sleeve?
Do I chance the romance that I've been dreamin' of
Instead of wishing for it quietly?
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
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 me inside your eyes
CHORUS
Never mind 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
