Brave for You

"...this one's for you."
Bravery: Being fearful, but standing up and facing the fear.

[Background information: a couple broke up over a dispute and the guy is shouting all his thoughts over the phone, not realizing that on the other end of the phone, the girl is sitting on the floor crying as she listens.]

"Girl, I know you’re hidin’
From me without reason
And I can only hear your silence
When I’m on the phone

I know you can’t love me
And that you want to leave
Before it’s dark, there’s no return
I’ll take this breath alone

I’ve been brave for you
It’s the best I can do
Holding my breath
Casting my thoughts away
Before our memories fade

I didn’t want you to worry
But that’s the least it seems
I don’t want our memories
For when I’m feeling lonely
I’ll just drown the thoughts away

I’ve been brave for you
I swear it’s the best I can do
I’ve been brave enough
To let go of my love

But please just talk to me
I never wanted this to be
Never wanted it to turn like this
I remember when I first met you
'Excuse me miss,
Can I get your name?'
Baby, I know things can't be the same
Between us, never again that kiss
The first one, that made me
Fall in love
Never again

I'm sorry.
I'm so sorry.
I never meant for this to happen.
I've tried so hard pretendin'
I've tried so hard to be brave for you."
