Brave

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
