Brave on the Outside Lyrics by Måns Zelmerlöw

Barcelona Sessions

2014

[Verse 1]
Here's to all we'll leave behind
Take your bows, it's curtain time
Here's to all we'll leave behind

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on, let's laugh, we might as well
Too far gone to cry for help
Our love's a ghost, just let it lie

[Chorus]
And I'm braver on the outside
'Cause I can't afford to show you now
How I'm shaking on the inside, oh, oh
Can't let you see me on the inside
'Cause I'm really barely holding ground
And so I'm braver on the outside, oh, oh

[Verse 2]
I'll pretend that I'm alright
Not for your sake, but for mine
Help me make it through this night

[Pre-Chorus]
Come on and dance and fill your glass
Can't we say goodbye like that?
It doesn't hurt to lie sometimes

[Chorus]
And I'm braver on the outside
'Cause I can't afford to show you now
How I'm shaking on the inside, oh, oh
Can't let you see me on the inside
'Cause I'm really barely holding ground
And so I'm braver on the outside, oh, oh

[Bridge]
Braver on the outside
Braver on the outside

[Chorus]
And I'm braver on the outside
'Cause I can't afford to show you now
How I'm shaking on the inside, oh, oh
Can't let you see me on the inside
'Cause I'm really barely holding ground
And so I'm braver on the outside, oh, oh

[Outro]
Might not be raining on the outside
But the truth is I am going down
Yeah, I'm drowning on the inside, oh, oh, oh
