Bravado

In the style of

Lorde

Lyrics

all my life
i've been fighting a war

i can't talk
to you or your friends

it's not only you
my heart jumps around

when i'm alluded to
this will not do

'cos i was raised up
to be admired, to be noticed

but when you're withdrawn
it's the closest thing

to assault when all eyes
are on you

this will not do

oh oh oh ooh ooh
oh oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh ooh ooh
oh oh oh oh oh

i'm faking glory
lick my lips toss my hair

and send a smile over
and the stories brand new

but i can take it from here

i'll find my own bravado

it's a switch flipped
it's a pill tipped back

it's a moon eclipsed oh oh

and i can tell you that
when the lights come on

i'll be ready for this

it's in your blood stream
a collision of atoms

that happens before your eyes

it's a marathon run
or a mountain you scale

without thinking of size

i was frightened of
every little thing that i thought

was out to get me down

to trip me up

and laugh at me but

i learnt not to want
the quiet of the room with

no one around to find me out

i want the applause
the approval, the things

that make me go oh

it's a switch flipped
it's a pill tipped back

it's a moon eclipsed oh oh

and i can tell you that
when the lights come on

i'll be ready for this

it's in your blood stream
a collision of atoms

that happens before your eyes

it's a marathon run
or a mountain you scale

without thinking of size

i was frightened of
every little thing that i thought

was out to get me down

to trip me up

and laugh at me but

i learnt not to want
the quiet of the room with

no one around to find me out

i want the applause
the approval, the things

that make me go oh
