Bravado Lyrics - The Love Club - Lorde

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But when you're withdrawn, it's the closest thing 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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

It's a switch flipped, it's a pill tipped back 

It's a moon eclipse, oh 

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
