Brave Enough

from Brave Enough by Ari Herstand

/

lyrics

You came in through an unlocked door
The one that I left unsecured
now you’re here - I wont ask you to leave
I might as well be welcoming

I’ll take your coat
Let me show you around
Please don’t get too close
because my walls are fragile
They start to rattle
I know they wont withstand this battle

I feel so confused
My love’s not brave enough to fight you
I’m about to lose for good the only thing I’ve understood
My love isn’t brave enough

Midnight on the beach
The sand is too cold for our bare feet
I play a song to warm you up
but I break a string interrupting

I should take you home
We’ve been here far too long
Its time to go
But your eyes are telling
My palms start sweating
We’re giving in to where this is heading

I feel so confused
My love’s not brave enough to fight you
I’m about to lose for good the only thing I’ve understood
My love isn’t brave enough

I can’t cross the line
If I turn back now it will be fine
‘cause I’m about to lose for good the only thing I’ve understood
My love isn’t brave enough

I didn't expect this
Will I regret this
Is this a test I’m taking
if i've been unfaithful
If I am unable to see the mistake I’m making
How will I know
When I’ve gone too far
Whats the point of starting over
A second chance is just a broken promise in disguise

(I can’t keep fighting
I won’t keep fighting
My love’s not brave enough to fight you)

I’m about to lose for good the only thing I’ve understood
My love isn’t brave enough
I feel so confused
My love’s not brave enough to fight you
I’m about to lose for good the only thing I’ve understood
My love isn’t brave enough

Ari Herstand’s most recent offering, Like Home, explores the idea of what home means. And where to find it when the concept has been shattered. In a period when so many have been confined to their homes, this is an exploration that couldn’t be more worthy of the times. ... more
