I/Thou - Brave Lyrics

I wish I didn't have to cry when I said, "goodbye" to the old times
I lay in bed and I close my eyes
I am paralyzed, I am frozen
The girl you see, she isn't me
I don't believe I'm brave

I wish they didn't call me brave when I ran away to save my face
I kept my fear hidden perfectly under lock and key
I wish they'd call me a hypocrite
Because every time you say I'm brave
I don't tell you how I'm terrified of everything

I'm terrified of everything

One day I'll be a perfect child
Follow every rule and make my parents proud
But today, I just want to stay
Let me disobey, let me have my way, and let me be afraid

I've always been this way
I don't believe I'm brave
I don't believe I'm brave
