Brave on the Outside

[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
