braver

I’m not trying to be cruel
Tired of holding it in
I won’t hear your excuses again and again
Just ‘cause it happened to you
Don’t pass it down
Don’t owe him a trophy for sticking around
He points his anger at me like a gun
Before he pulls the trigger
This time I’ll be gone

Nothing is safe here anymore

I wish you were braver
Like when we were younger
He’ll never be your savior
I wish you were braver
I wish you were braver

Since when do we care
What other people say?
Keepin’ up the appearance
For appearances sake
They say, “Honor your mother, honor your father”
What does it say about protecting your daughter?
I know it’s never easy raising a kid
But he beats me down ‘cause he can’t look within

I can’t stay here anymore

I wish you were braver
Like when we were younger
He’ll never be your savior
He’s nothing but a taker
I wish you were braver

Oh, how am I a traitor
Oh, for uncovering the layers?
Nobody's playing pretend anymore

I wish you were braver
Like when we were younger
He’ll never be your savior
No, nobody’s safe here
I wish you were braver
No, there’s nothing more to say here
I wish you were braver
I wish you were braver
I wish you were braver
I wish you were braver
I wish you were braver
