To Be Brave

from Freshman Again by Friend Hell

lyrics

It's hard to be brave
When bravery feels so dangerous
You're just trying to protect yourself
And all of your relationships
Some say you should really come out
But consider your situation first
I know things could get easier but things could get much worse

Just how far can you put yourself out there
Too scared to ask for anything to change
You look so unhappy and I wanna see you thrive
But sometimes that fear will keep you safe
Cause at any time that roof could go away
And sometimes you'll end up looking for a place to stay
And that's why it's so hard to be brave

I think I saw Olivia, I think that was her face
Now I'm thinking up an ice breaker, I'm thinking what to say
Then I remember what I told her freshman year of high school
Remembering how things had changed
How I never saw the same face
When she left, she didn't have much to say
And that's why it's so hard to be brave

I think I like this new guy, I've been thinking different ways
Tell my brother, and he tells me that he asked and he is straight
And I remember that most straight men see an MTF as gay
And it's been a few weeks since I shaved my face
And despite what I do I'm the same
Even if I shave my face and my legs
So I've been thinking what cards I can play if any
And that's why it's so hard to be brave
