Brave for You Lyrics
[Verse 1: Romy Madley Croft]
In all I know
In all I've done
I take you along
Though you're not here
I can feel you there
I take you along
[Pre-Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
And when I'm scared
I imagine you're there
Telling me to be brave
[Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
So I will be brave for you
Stand on a stage for you
Do the things that I'm afraid to do
I know you want me to
I will be brave
I know you want me to
[Verse 2: Romy Madley Croft]
I see things change
And I watch them grow
And I know you do too
When the things don't make sense
I have courage
Because of you
[Pre-Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
And when I'm scared
I imagine you're there
Telling me to be brave
[Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
So I will be brave for you
Stand on a stage for you
Do the things that I'm afraid to do
I know you want me to
I will be brave
I will be brave
Do the things that I'm afraid to do
I know you want me to
[Outro: Romy Madley Croft]
There are things I wish I didn't know
I try my best to let them go
