Braveheart is a song that explores the vulnerability that comes with being human. The story being told is one of admitting weakness. In a world where everyone feels the need to be strong all the time, the protagonist takes the time to admit that they are not strong or brave and that if they ever said they were, they lied.
lyrics
[Verse 1]
Just in case I don't return
Sing a song for me
Make the lyrics sweet
And sing a soft melody
If my soul gets lost at sea
Say a prayer for me
Raise your hands to heaven
And pray they let me in
[Hook]
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
If I said my heart was steel
It's all lies, all lies
'Cos the cost of being brave
Is far too much for me
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
[Verse 2]
Just in case my lover leaves
Build a cage for me
I'll put my heart inside it
And I'll never let it flee
Oh if the sky falls down today
Let me hold your hand
And let me stay beside you
As the sea eats the land
[Hook]
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
If I said my heart was steel
It's all lies, all lies
'Cos the cost of being brave
Is far too much for me
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
[Hook]
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
If I said my heart was steel
It's all lies, all lies
'Cos the cost of being brave
Is far too much for me
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
If I told you I'm not scared
Oh I lied, oh I lied
