Be Brave

Hey, I talked to you a few days ago, and you said you hated going to school... I asked you why and you said you were bullied...

I remember when you first went, and after your first day at school, you told me how you loved it there. You said everything was just so incredible, so different. You loved it. You really did. And honestly, I was kinda jealous. But you didn't love life there for long...

It's only been what, 4 months? And now, you hate school. You don't even want to step out of your house. I want to ask what happened. what changed your views so drastically, but I know you don't want to be reminded of the pain. So perhaps all I can do is to make you feel a tiny bit better.

Well, I can't really help you, cuz I'm not there with you. And I've never been there before. And maybe what you're gonna read next doesn't help you at all, but maybe it'll give you something to look to when you need it.

You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody’s lack of love
Or you can start speaking up
Nothing’s gonna hurt you the way that words do
And they settle ‘neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

Everybody’s been there, everybody’s been stared down
By the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don’t run, stop holding your tongue
Maybe there’s a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

Innocence, your history of silence
Won’t do you any good
Did you think it would?
Let your words be anything but empty
Why don’t you tell them the truth?

Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly I wanna see you be brave

I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave

And I know how much you love Taylor Swift, so here's a little something just for you! :)
