Lorde - Bravado: lyrics de la chanson

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 eluded 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But when you’re withdrawn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 a someone who lies around 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
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
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 fighting off every little thing
That I thought was out to get me down
To trip me up and laugh at me
But I look not to hold
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
