"Brave" lyrics

Don't ask me if I want it
You know I always do
Don't ask me if I want it
If I want it, I'll say

I thought I cut it out
Thought I put you on the line this time
In a perfect situation, you'd be pulling for a second try
There's a ringing in my head
And the ringing sees no end in sight
And I'm beating on a dead horse, begging for another bite

Don't ask me if I want it
You know I always do
Don't ask me if I want it
If I want it, I'll say

Cut me open and stay right here
I just want you to stay
I'll say nothing, I'll show no fear
I can take it, I'm brave

I thought I had a chance, thought we'd take it all the way this time
There's a perfect situation, but it's hidden in the wrong design
I can keep my body small 'til it's good enough for you to fight
Don't be delicate with me, keep it real, I don't need polite

Don't ask me if I want it
You know I always do
Don't ask me if I want it
You know I always do
Don't ask me if I want it
You know I always do
Don't ask me if I want it
'Cause you know what I'll say

Cut me open and stay right here
I just want you to stay
I'll say nothing, I'll show no fear
I can take it, I'm brave

So cut me open and stay right here
I just want you to stay
I'll say nothing, I'll show no fear
I can take it, I'm brave
I can take it, I'm brave
I can take it, I'm brave
I can take it, I'm brave
I can take it, I'm brave
