Bravado

歌詞

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jumps around when I'm alluded to This will not do 'Cause I was raised up to be admired, to be noticed But when you're withdrawn It's the closest thing to assault when all eyes are on you This will not do I'm faking glory Lick my lips, toss my hair And turn the smile on And the story's 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 eclipse, whoa And I can tell you that, when the lights come on, I'll be ready for this It's in your bloodstream, a collision of atoms that happens before your eyes It's a marathon run or a mountain you scaled 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 learned not to want the quiet of a 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 eclipse, whoa And I can tell you that, when the lights come on, I'll be ready for this It's in your bloodstream, a collision of atoms that happens before your eyes It's a marathon run or a mountain you scaled 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 learned not to want the quiet of a room with no-one around to find me out I want the applause, the approval, the things that make me go "oh"
