14 Lyrics by Paula Cole

Courage

0

[Verse 1]
Your eyes, they conjure up those Cliffs of Moher
Far away and not listening anymore
Dreaming of life on another shore
Not here, not now, with me the bore

[Pre-Chorus]
So I stopped talking and fade to bleak
Feeling insignificant after feeling weak
Even though it's not who I know myself to be
The queen, the confidence
Doesn't speak

[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest

[Verse 2]
Your eyes, they drown me in your sadness
Your words, they bring hurricanes
I'm braving Shakespearian tempest
The mighty tiger doesn't blink

[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest

[Bridge]
I think you were the one
Silent suffering inside
The one who got away
I was too dangerous to hide

[Chorus]
But I was fourteen with my passion and fifteen with my best
Sixteen with my ego and zero with the rest, oh yeah
My heart is a P.O.W. tangled in my chest
I don't know how to communicate in a cardiac arrest

[Outro]
So I stopped talking, baby, 'cause you always want to shut up
Take the center stage meanwhile I become your trusted silent prop
So take good care, this mighty woman's ready to explode
Fire here below the surface of my volcano
