I Am Brave

Tekst utworu

[Verse 1] I kept your keys beside the door A habit I don’t need anymore Packed every promise in a box Left it beside the ticking clock [Pre-Chorus] I hear the room get bigger With every borrowed rule I lose No, I don’t need permission To choose what I choose [Chorus] I own my name, I own my hands I draw the line, I make the plans No more waiting by the phone No more asking to be known I take the wheel, I set the pace I meet the world face to face What I give and what I save Belongs to me, and I am brave [Verse 2] I changed the lock, I cleared the shelf Made a little room to meet myself The mirror held a steadier face Not a shadow trying to take my place [Pre-Chorus] The floor is mine beneath me The air is mine to breathe I don’t need a witness To know what I believe [Chorus] I own my name, I own my hands I draw the line, I make the plans No more waiting by the phone No more asking to be known I take the wheel, I set the pace I meet the world face to face What I give and what I save Belongs to me, and I am brave [Bridge] If I stumble, I will stand If I’m scared, I’ll understand Every door I close tonight Makes more room for honest light [Final Chorus] I own my name, I own my hands I draw the line, I make the plans No more waiting by the phone I can build a life my own I take the wheel, I set the pace I meet the world face to face What I give and what I save Belongs to me, and I am brave [Outro] Belongs to me I am brave
