Nichole Nordeman - Gone Are the Days lyrics

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 gla** 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)
