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
