Not Brave Enough
Tate McRae

Verse 1

Do you remember all those late nights?
All those subtle looks, oh, I'd give a sign
In every glance, a silent invite
But you just stared back, couldn't read my mind

Pre-Chorus

I tried to be clear with conversation
Pushed the line, oh, flirtation
Talked about things, implications
But you just stayed in hesitation

Chorus

I gave you hints, you caught them all
But you weren't brave enough to fall
Soft touches, risky talks, explicit themes
But your fear crushed all our dreams

Verse 2

In crowded rooms, I stayed real close
Made it so easy, left you a note
With every word, my heart exposed
But courage in you just never arose

Pre-Chorus

Soft whispers 'bout our future
What's a girl gotta do to make you sure?
I opened up, showed you the picture
But lost in your doubts, my words weren't a fixture

Chorus

I gave you hints, you caught them all
But you weren't brave enough to fall
Soft touches, risky talks, explicit themes
But your fear crushed all our dreams

Bridge

Now I'm standing here, can't keep pretending
Craving a love that's fearless, unending
But you closed up, kept on defending
And now our story finds no ending

Chorus

I gave you hints, you caught them all
But you weren't brave enough to fall
Soft touches, risky talks, explicit themes
But your fear crushed all our dreams

Outro

So here's my final clue
It's time I gotta move
I needed you so close
But fear was all you chose
