Why i think you're brave

sadkw33n

When everybody's sleeping you're crying in the dark 

And you can't reach for saviours, they are just too far

You tell me that sometimes it feels like this is the end

Long nights with moonless skys pass by, it's like you're dead

 

Well

If you want to run away, run away 

But you say that you want to stay 

If you want to look away, look away 

But you say you'll see it through today 

Then you stand up and press down your pain 

You're so tired but you still stay awake 

That's why i think you're brave 

 

When everybody is talking you don't say a word 

They messed you up but you still want to save the world 

You tell me you won't drown yourself like they all think

Instead you're going to swim, swim untill you sink 

 

Well

If you want to quit the fight, quit the fight

But you say you still want to try 

If you want to cut your skin, cut your skin

But you say you still want to win 

Then you stand up and press down your pain

You're so tired but you still stay awake

That's why i think you're brave
