If I Had The Courage... | Suno AI

Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
I’ve been playing a role, saying lines I thought you'd like,
Dancing around in circles, trying to keep it right.
But I see the cracks showing through the smile I wear,
I wonder what would happen if I didn’t care.
(Pre-Chorus)
If I stripped away the layers, let my heart come through,
Would you run, would you stay-what would you do?
(Chorus)
Would it be better if I had the courage to be me?
Would you love the person hiding underneath?
Would the silence break, would the space close in,
If I let you see the real within?
Or would we drift apart like two lost souls at sea?
Would it be better, if I had the courage...
to be me?
(Verse 2)
Every word I said was chosen, trying not to make waves,
But I lost myself in the choices I made.
If I tore down the walls, and let you see inside,
Would you turn away, or would you be surprised?
(Pre-Chorus)
If I whispered all my secrets, showed you every scar,
Would you see me clearer? Would it break us apart?
(Chorus)
Would it be better if I had the courage to be me?
Would you love the person hiding underneath?
Would the silence break, would the space close in,
If I let you see the real within?
Or would we drift apart like two lost souls at sea?
Would it be better, if I had the courage...
to be me?
Would it be better, if I had the courage...
to be me?
(Bridge)
Maybe it’s safer to stay unknown,
But I want to be... (I want to be)
Maybe it’s safer to stay unknown,
But I want to be more than just skin and bones.
If I don’t try, I’ll always be haunted-
By the ‘what ifs’ and dreams I never confronted.
So I stand on the edge, heart in my hands,
Wondering if you'd even understand.
(Chorus)
Would it be better if I had the courage to be me?
Would you love the person hiding underneath?
Would the silence break, would the space close in,
If I let you see the real within?
Or would we drift apart like two lost souls at sea?
Would it be better, if I had the courage...
to be me?
Would it be better, if I had the courage...
to be me?
[Bridge]
If I took that leap, if I showed you my face,
Would we find our way, or fall from grace?
Maybe I'll never know what we could have been,
But still, I wonder... what if, again and again...
AND AGAAIN!
(Chorus)
Would it be better if I had the courage to be me?
Would you love the person hiding underneath?
Would the silence break, would the space close in,
If I let you see the real within?
Or would we drift apart like two lost souls at sea?
Would it be better, if I had the courage...
to be me?
Would it be better, if I had the courage...
to be me?
(Outro)
Would it be better if I had the courage to be me?
Would you love the person hiding underneath?
Would the silence break, would the space close in,
If I let you see the real within?
Or would we drift apart like two lost souls at sea?
Would it be better, if I had the courage...
to be me?
