Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Nothing's gonna hurt you the way that words do
When they settle 'neath your skin
Kept on the inside and no sunlight
Sometimes a shadow wins
But I wonder what would happen if you
[PreChorus]
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
[PreChorus]
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
[Chorus]
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
[Chorus]
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
[Verse 3]
Everybody's been there
Everybody's been stared down by the enemy
Fallen for the fear and done some disappearing
Bow down to the mighty
Don't run, stop holding your tongue
[Verse 4]
Maybe there's a way out of the cage where you live
Maybe one of these days you can let the light in
Show me how big your brave is
[PreChorus]
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
[PreChorus]
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
[Bridge]
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?
[PreChorus]
Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
[PreChorus]
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
[Chorus]
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I wanna see you be brave
[Chorus]
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
See you be brave
[Outro]
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
[Outro]
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
I just wanna see you
