Song lyrics

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But when you're withdrawn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 a 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
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 learnt 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

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 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 learnt 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
