Courage

It's amazing what the pain can do

Covered up and left to dry overnight

Seem so calm but if you stare me through

Not so tough, I'm choking all of the time

Even if you have my back

I don't feel the comfort I so deeply need

Sorry to tell you that it's worthless

But

Give me something I don't know if I can fight

I'll come out into the light

If I know it isn't right to hide

Give me something I don't know if I can heal

Doesn't matter how I feel

But it matters if I fail to try

Give me a choice that I don't dare to choose

Give me a chance, I can't afford to lose

Give me something I don't know if I can fight

And you'll see me in a new light

And I don't need a reason to hold the door closed all night if i wanted to

Admitting I was scared, I was wrong, I was holding on to nothing but pretended to

Chemicals astray in my brain

Covered up, released by the rain

Building up the courage I've needed to say this

Despite this, know, know, know

Give me something I don't know if I can fight

I'll come out into the light

If I know it isn't right to hide

Give me something I don't know if I can heal

Doesn't matter how I feel

But it matters if I fail to try

Give me a choice that I don't dare to choose

Give me a chance, I can't afford to lose

Give me something I don't know if I can fight

And you'll see me in a new light

Tearing down the walls around me, I'm

Facing all the pain inside me, I'm

Calling all the shots, remind me, I'm

Checking all my losses for me, I'm

Building up the brave inside me, I'm

Struggling and straining for me, I'm

Reaching out to friends to find me, I

Need you more than ever right now, I'm

Leave it to me, to work myself up so much

Covered in sweat, like I was in such a rush

All of the better, to find me steeped in courage

So

Give me something I don't know if I can fight

I'll come out into the light

If I know it isn't right to hide

Give me something I don't know if I can heal

Doesn't matter how I feel

But it matters if I fail to try

Give me a choice that I don't dare to choose

Give me a chance, I can't afford to lose

Give me something I don't know if I can fight

And you'll see me in a new light

Tearing down the walls around me, I'm

Facing all the pain inside me, I'm

Calling all the shots, remind me, I'm

Checking all my losses for me, I'm

Building up the brave inside me, I'm

Struggling and straining for me, I'm

Reaching out to friends to find me, I'm

All of the better, you'll find me steeped deep in courage
