True Courage
Location
They Tell Me I'm Brave
Because I argue with the teachers
When I know they're wrong
They Tell Me I'm Caring
Because I always stand for those
Who'll never be strong
They Tell Me I'm Courageous
Because I hit the big linebacker
When he made that freshman cry
They Tell Me I'm Daring
When I drive 90 down a road
In my vain attempt to fly
But They Call Her She's Weak
For the dull pink marks on her arm
Yet, she never tries to hide them.
They Tell Her She's Stupid
When she tries to explain
Excatly what they come from
They Tell Her She's A Coward
Everytime they see the freshly placed
Thin pink line on her left wrist
I'd Tell Her That I Love Her
But she'd never believe a word I said
Even if I showed her what the others missed
They Call Me A Coward
If they ever saw what's under my sleeve
The horrors that stay behind doors that stay shut
They Called Her A Coward
And now I'll never get to tell her the truth
Because last night she made the final cut
