[Chorus x2: James Blunt]And I see no braveryNo bravery in your eyes anymoreOnly sadnessDear self, can I talk to youI been trying to have this conversation for yearsbut you won't listenDamn, are you that plain ignorant? your so indignantPlease come off that high chair your sitting inBefore you snatched from it, or strapped to itYa body used as a conduit, a thousand voltsflow through youYa life gone over something foolishTalking to you is so uselessYa head harder than them walls you'll be housed in soonBefore ya body's embalmed and you lie in tombOpen ya ears, eyes and heart, cause that hour's soonAnd the hour shall cometh, when Ish* Rahzelblows his trumpetsThe sky shall crack, the stars will plummetThe sun will rise in the West you'll drown in your own sweatAnd when that day shall be, I'll bet I'll see no bravery[Chorus]And I see no braveryNo bravery in your eyes anymoreOnly sadnessDear self can I talk to you?Dear self can I talk to you?Who are you to lecture me?You question me about my life and the choices I made?How dare you to place me in an early grave? (whoa)Why you gotta talk to me in that fashion?You bury me face down with an open casketthis whole world can kiss mineTell me what this life got to offer himA crooked preacher and a church alter**?A short speech and a long offering?A deep grave and a short coffin?Oh I get it... you Righteous now (haha)well let the truth be toldYou done smoke every blunt I rolledYou done drove every car I stoleCooked up every crack I soldYou done slept with every trick I laidCollected off every bet I made... [laughs]But I guess you done found ChristI ain't know he was missin (Whoa)Watch your BlasphemyMan I ain't asked to beJust let me live my lifeNow hold on - No you listenYou was there on every decisionWhether it was right or wrongAnd now you trying to right my wrongsYou got some nerveyou even give me the words I write in this songYou see... my vision's much clearerIt's not me but it's you that I see when I look in the mirrorAnd you call yourself saving me?But it's through your eyes that I see... No bravery
