BRAVE Lyrics

I wish I could be brave

I wish I wasn't afraid

But everyone that I see

Looks like they're out to get me

And I don't feel safe

I've been watching my back since I was thirteen

I've been under attack from anxiety

I've been looking for safety

But the memories chase me

And I struggle to breathe

Now my thoughts are astray

Collapsing under the weight

And I try to escape

My confidence decays

I wish I could be brave

What if they know I'm afraid

What if they know I'm afraid

What if they know I'm afraid

What if they know I'm afraid

Sitting back, I just feel restless

Tired from being sleep deprived

Contradicting what I spoke about

In long forgotten lies

This year, I have sunk in deeper

I can barely see the light

I'm feeling sick, is it even worth it

To keep putting up this fight

What if they know I'm afraid

What if they know I'm afraid

Every calm in the storm

Was right before a hurricane

And I tried to brave the weather

But my shelter blew away

Should I just confront the trauma

And try to heal from the pain

Or am I just too fucking broken

Is the remedy in vain

Is the remedy in vain

I just wish I could be brave
