Brave On The Surface

Intro Verse 1

Old shoes at my door and a suitcase of doubts

Coffee gone cold as the morning breaks out

Sun through the window and restlessness grows

Tracing the path only memory knows

Chorus

I'm holding on to shivers running down my spine

Hiding from the shadows I pretend are fine

Brave on the surface but I tremble inside

Some things you just can't leave behind

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Verse 2

Mirror’s reflection looking back at me

Fear in my chest I try not to see

Heart in my hands I can't set it free

Won’t let the darkness define me

Pre-Chorus

Promises break when I'm alone

But I gather my courage stone by stone

Light at the edge of what I know

Learning to take it slow

Chorus

I'm holding on to shivers running down my spine

Hiding from the shadows I pretend are fine

Brave on the surface but I tremble inside

Some things you just can't leave behind

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh

Piano Solo

Verse 3

There's a fight in my soul I can’t quiet down

Dreams call my name when no one’s around

Each step I take on this broken ground

Hope keeps rising, I won’t drown

Verse 3

Morning arrives and my doubts fade to gray

Pieces held tight but I’ll choose to stay

Wind at my back and the scars gently fade

Finding the strength in mistakes that I’ve made

Bridge

Carried by rivers I used to fight

Letting go fear that held me too tight

Stand on the line between shadow and light

Choosing forgiveness, choosing the climb

Outro

So here’s to the journey and scars on my skin

Wounds that are healing, I’m learning to begin

Finally breathing where hope rushes in

Still moving forward, letting life in
