Brave Enough
I have secrets deeper than the Dead Sea
 Or any cut on my body
 Now I see it in my dreams
 
 No criticism can hurt me more
 Than what’s in my head
 All the thoughts never said
 I was never brave enough for
 
 Because the monsters outside
 Are all resting now
 And the reason I have cried
 Is living inside
 This is the monster of my design
 
 All the thoughts never said
 The monster is in my head
 I was never brave enough for
 Thinking I was better off dead
 God I still want to live
 
 The truth is sinking in
 I’m screaming
 Don’t let this be the end
 All I needed was a hand
 Please don’t let me go
 
 All the thoughts never said
 I’ve been screaming in my head
 I’m not okay
 I won’t be fine
 Read between the lines
 
 I’ve never been brave enough
 I’ll be brave enough for
 Letting anyone know
 You can’t know
 The pain I felt
 How do I feel
 All these thoughts cutting away at me
 Cutting me
 Are saying 
 They’ve said
 All that needs to be said
 Because I’m not brave enough
