Brave

[Intro]
Mm-hm-hm
Mm-hm-hm
Eeh-eeh, yeah

[Verse 1]
Sometimes it's hard to smile
When no hurt feels against us
When the tears are on the pavement
Ooh, and I see it in their eyes
Sometimes it's hard to smile
When the world feels against us
When my blood is on the pavement
Sometimes it'll all subside

[Verse 2]
Love's trying to be my friend
What'cha gonna do if I hand you my heart?
I think that maybe now it's my time
And I can't stand to lose

[Verse 3]
Sometimes it's hard
And I know, and we know, and you know that it's been hard
And I learn, and you learn, to keep up a fighting stance
Will I see the day I don't feel the need to defend myself?

[Pre-Chorus]
But, if I get caught in the losing race
Can a mother's hold change a baby's fate?
I get sick, I get tired, of carrying this weight on my mind
And with every step that I've got to take
Don't know how much more that a heart can break
I'm so sick, I'm so tired, I can't keep losing my mind

[Chorus]
I wanna be brave
I wanna be in love
It's time I stop running away
I should stay, I should stay, I should stay

[Outro]
Love's trying to be my friend
I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying, I'm trying
Don't go in, please, don't go in, please, don't go in
Love's trying to be my friend
