This demo of “Brave for You” is a stripped down version of the song, featuring only Romy’s voice and an acoustic guitar (which is unusual for the band). There are some minor changes in the song, including a verse added to the end of the chorus, but instrumentally it feels completely different. Romy...
[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 there
Telling me to be brave
[Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
So I will be brave for you
Brave for you
Do the things that I'm afraid to do
I know you'd want me to
Stand on a stage for you
If it scares me, I will try to see it through
Take a risk like I have nothing to lose
I know you'd want me to
[Verse 2: Romy Madley Croft]
I see things change
And I watch them grow
And I know you do too
When things don't make sense
I have courage because of you
[Pre-Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
And when I'm scared
I imagine you there
Telling me to be brave
Oh
[Outro: Romy Madley Croft]
There are things I wish I didn't know
I'll try my best to let them go
I will be brave
I will be brave
