Bravado
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But when you're withdrawn it's the closest thing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
Oh,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
Oh,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
Oh,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
Oh,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
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 eclipsed, 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 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,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
Oh,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
Oh,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
Oh,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
It's a switch flipped
It's a pill tipped back,
It's a moon eclipsed, whoa
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,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
Oh,.. oh,.. oh,.. oh,..
