Be Brave Enough To Say It

Be brave enough to walk away And don’t look back Be brave to say goodbye Be brave enough to go your way Be brave not to tell a lie. Remember how the whole mess started It was a beautiful spring day like today The humming birds were antsy and enchanted And the squirrels were crossing the freeway. Be brave enough to come out clean And don’t look back Be brave to admit that you’ve been disobedient Be brave enough to say that you were arrogant Be brave to acknowledge that you’ve been mean. You apparently have a very short memory Sometimes, I wonder what’s crossing your mind You behave out of the ordinary. You’re crazy You say the wrong thing and you’re not kind. Be brave enough to say goodbye And don’t look back Be brave to say exactly what you feel Be brave enough not to lie Be brave to fulfill your part of the deal.

All good advice. And phrased in an encouragingly emphatic, clear manner. As difficult as it may seem, we all need to be that brave.
