Brave

[Verse 1]

You can be amazing

You can turn a phrase into a put-down or a hug

You can be the outcast

Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love

Or you can start speaking up

Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do

When they settle ‘neath your skin

Kept on the inside and no sunlight

Sometimes a shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen if you

[Chorus]

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

[Post-Chorus]

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

[Verse 2]

Everybody’s been there

Everybody’s been stared down by the enemy

Fallen for the fear

And done some disappearing

Bow down to the mighty

Don’t run, stop holding your tongue

Maybe there’s a way out of this cage where you live

Maybe one of these days you can let the light in

Show me how big your brave is

[Chorus]

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

[Bridge]

And since your history of silence

Won't do you any good

Did you think it would?

Let your words be anything but empty

Why don't you tell them the truth?

[Chorus]

Say what you wanna say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say

And let the words fall out

Honestly I wanna see you be brave

[Post-Chorus]

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you

I wanna see you be brave

[Outro]

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you (Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah)

I just wanna see you (Ooh ooh)

I just wanna see you

I just wanna see you
