Bravado

作词 : Joel Little/Ella Yelich O'Connor

作曲 : Joel Little/Ella Yelich O'Connor

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But when you're withdrawn it's the closest thing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 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, 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

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

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh
