“Braveface” marks the tipping point in this story. The song is actually written from God’s perspective, as it consists of words I felt God was speaking to me. Instead of putting on this mask of fake belief, duty, and okay-ness, He wanted me to take that off and be open with Him so He could reveal Hi...
[Verse 1]
Neon lights flash 4 AM
The darkness eats you up but your mind's intact
Sends pulses firing at the speed of sound
What do you do now
What do you do now
Big city but you never felt so alone
Look by, see the people, but you never see any souls
The silence swallows you up as the cars rush by
What do you do now
What do you do now
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause you got a smile
Painted on your face
And you say that you're okay, say that you're okay
But you're hiding all your pain
And the paint's chipping away, chipping away on your braveface
[Chorus]
Oh
You can take the mask off
You didn't have to run away
I've been here with you all along
And I will be here with you always
I've given you all My love
If you just let Me in
I promise that I'll pick you up
You can rest underneath My wing
[Verse 2]
Castle on every block but you never felt like a royal
So you build your walls up might as well go and make your own
Hide your heart at the center, let no one in
Let no one in
But I'm knocking
[Pre-Chorus]
Cause you got a smile
Painted on your face
And you say that you're okay, say that you're okay
But you're hiding all your pain
And the paint's chipping away, chipping away on your braveface
[Chorus]
Oh
You can take the mask off
You didn't have to run away
I've been here with you all along
And I will be here with you always
I've given you all My love
If you just let Me in
I promise that I'll pick you up
You can rest underneath My wing
[Bridge]
Didn't anybody tell you
It's okay not to be okay
[Chorus]
So you can take the mask off
You didn't have to run away
I've been here with you all along
And I will be here with you always
I've given you all My love
If you just let Me in
I promise that I'll pick you up
You can rest underneath My wing
[Outro]
You can rest underneath My wing
You can rest underneath My wing
You can rest underneath My wing
