I didn't come from much, but I had a head of gold and dreams
I did it for myself, I didn't know what love could mean
Cause I was always such a runaway

You taught me how to be brave! (ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)

I keep takin the chance, rolling the dice in the heat of the fire

I got mistakes I shouldn't have made but we are still brave! (ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
You taught me how to be brave! (ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)

I have been through pain in the dark like a knife

You showed me how to love like a spark in the night
And not be afraid

You taught me how to be brave! (ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
You taught me how to be brave! (ooooh, ooooh, ooooh)
You taught me how to be
