Lorde ☆ Bravado.mp3

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But when you’re withdrawn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 our eyes are on you
This will not do
I’m thinking glory
Lick my lips toss my hair
And send a smile over
And the story’s brand new
That 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 ohh
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 fighting off every little thing
that I thought was out
to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me but
I’ve learned 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 whoa
It’s a switch flipped
It’s a pill tipped back
It’s a moon eclipsed ohh
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
Its a marathon run
Or a mountain your 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’ve learned 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 whoa
