“Braveface” Lyrics

[Intro]
(Bongo, turn it up)
Mm, mm, yeah
Mm, mm

[Verse 1]
Sitting on the floor, curled up in a ball
Looking in the mirror and I feel so fu*king small
Then I grab my makeup bag and shuffle it around
My head is in the clouds, self-esteem is on the ground

[Pre-Chorus]

I been so tired
Even though I feel this way
I gotta do what the girls do best
Cover up the pain

[Chorus]
Step one, rubbing my foundation on
Two, concealer to hide it from you
Three, I hope they can read between the lines
Gotta blind em, touch a highlighter
Four, I put on my blush in a rush ’cause I’m flushed
Tell myself, “You’re more than enough”
And fu*k my flaws, no, I’ll be strong
That’s how I put my braveface on

[Verse 2]
Up and down for no reason, springing falling like seasons
When I step up on the carpet, cameras on me, fake cheesing
Got my hair and my heart out, got my lipstick and my guard up
Pretty good fu*king actress, I know how to play my part up

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired
And when do I stop to feel this way
I gotta do what the girls do best

Cover up the pain

[Chorus]
Step one, rubbing my foundation on
Two, concealer to hide it from you
Three, I hope they can read between the lines
Gotta blind em, touch a highlighter
Four, I put on my blush in a rush ’cause I’m flushed
Tell myself, “You’re more than enough”
And fu*k my flaws, no, I’ll be strong
That’s how I put my braveface on

[Bridge]
I just wanna (Make me) feel good
I just wanna (Make me) feel good (I just wanna wanna feel good, baby), yeah
I just wanna (I just wanna) feel good (I just wanna feel good)
I just wanna (I just wanna) feel good (Feel good)

[Outro]
Step one, rubbing my foundation on
Two, concealer to hide it from you
Three, I hope they can read between the lines
Gotta blind em, touch a highlighter
Four, I put on my blush in a rush ’cause I’m flushed
Tell myself, “You’re more than enough”
And fu*k my flaws, no, I’ll be strong
That’s how I put my braveface on (On)

Meaning of ‘Braveface’ Lyrics Explained

Intro Meaning:
The music is just starting, setting the vibe. It’s a chill, emotional tone that prepares us for something deep.

Verse 1 Meaning:
She’s sitting on the floor, feeling really low and overwhelmed. Looking at herself in the mirror, she feels tiny and insecure. She grabs her makeup bag, almost out of habit, even though her mind is all over the place. She’s emotionally drained, lost in thought, and struggling with low self-worth. Makeup becomes her way of coping when her confidence is completely crushed.

Pre-Chorus Meaning:
Even though she’s feeling emotionally and physically exhausted, she pushes through it. Like many girls, she feels the pressure to hide how she really feels and keep going.

Chorus Meaning:
She walks us through her makeup routine, but it’s more than just beauty steps—it’s her emotional shield. Foundation is step one, then concealer to hide what she’s really feeling. She hopes someone might notice the pain behind her smile. She adds highlighter to distract from the sadness and blush to fake some life in her face. Through it all, she reminds herself that she’s enough and refuses to let her flaws bring her down. That’s her way of staying strong—putting on a “braveface.”

Verse 2 Meaning:
Her emotions are all over the place—up one moment, down the next, like changing seasons. When she’s in the spotlight, she forces a smile even when she’s not okay. She dresses up and looks confident, but inside she’s protecting herself. She’s gotten really good at pretending, like an actress who knows exactly how to act like everything’s fine.

Pre-Chorus Meaning:
She’s tired again, drained by always pretending. Still, she feels like she has no choice but to keep up the act and hide her struggles.

Chorus Meaning:
Once more, she explains how she uses her makeup to cover up her inner pain. Each step is part of her emotional routine: foundation to start fresh, concealer to hide, highlighter to dazzle, blush to bring color to her face. But it’s not just makeup—it’s how she gives herself courage and strength, reminding herself she’s more than her flaws and pain.

Bridge Meaning:
At her core, she just wants to feel good. She’s tired of the act, tired of pretending, and deep down, all she wants is to genuinely feel happy and at peace again.

Outro Meaning:
The makeup steps repeat, showing how this routine is something she leans on every day. It’s like a ritual that helps her push through, even when she’s barely holding on. As she puts on her makeup, she talks to herself with love and strength, trying to block out the flaws and pain. That’s how she keeps going—by wearing her braveface and facing the world, even when she’s hurting inside.
