Lorde - Bravado lyrics
rate meAll 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But when you're withdrawn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!
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, 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!
Pre-chorus:
It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back to 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!
Chorus:
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!
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Pre-chorus:
It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back to 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!
Chorus:
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!
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, ohhh, oh, oh, oh
