Brave Lyrics & Chords By Sara Bareilles

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
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside, no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins

But I wonder what would happen if you
Say what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I want to see you be brave
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to 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
Bowed down to the mighty
But don't run and 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
And show me, how big your brave is

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

And since 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 want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I want to see you be brave...
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you…
I want to see you be brave…
I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you…
See you be brave
I just want to see you
(yeah…) I just want to see you
(oh…) I just want to see you…

I just want to see you
I just want to see you
I just want to see you…
