"braveface" lyrics

Sitting on the floor
Crawled up in a ball
Looking in the mirror and I feel so fucking small
Then I grab my makeup bag and shuffle it around
My head is in the clouds
Self esteem is on the ground

I've been so tired
Even though I feel this way
Gotta do what the girls do best, cover up the pain

Step one, rubbing my foundation on
Two concealer to hide it from you
Three, I hope they can't read between the liner
Gotta blind them, touch of highlighter
Four, I put on my blush in a rush cause I'm flushed
Tell myself you're more than enough
And fuck my flaws no I'll be strong
That's how I put my braveface on

Up and down for no reason
Spring and falling like a season
When I step up on the carpet, cameras on me fake cheesin'
Got my hair and my heart up
Got my lipstick and my guard up
Pretty good fucking actress
I know how to play my part up

Tired, and whenever I get this way
Gotta do what the girls do best, cover up the pain

Step one, rubbing my foundation on
Two concealer to hide it from you
Three, I hope they can't read between the liner
Gotta blind them, touch of highlighter
Four, I put on my blush in a rush cause I'm flushed
Tell myself you're more than enough
And fuck my flaws no I'll be strong
That's how I put my braveface on

She wears a braveface, yes, sometimes to save face
Me and Halle on the same page
I'm 'bout to put mine on
I had to bring some strings in 'cause this subject is emotional
Woke up looking in the bathroom mirror like
What? Oh my, how fucking disappointing
Bulletproof mascara cause it does appear that my
Self love is low, self esteem gone
Today I'll choose a black cat eye 'cause this feline is playing poker
Oh the fucking art of being a woman
She was just crying, look at her shining now incredible woman
'Cause I got my bad bitch, I don't give a fuck, lip gloss on
Six step routine cause rude bitches keep on
Set and spray, I'mma be okay, and I'm myself
I know I'm good I just wanna feel good

Step one, rubbing my foundation on
Two concealer to hide it from you
Three, I hope they can't read between the liner
Gotta blind them, touch of highlighter
Four, I put on my blush in a rush cause I'm flushed
Tell myself you're more than enough
And fuck my flaws no I'll be strong
That's how I put my braveface on
