Laughing When I'm Nervous

[Intro]
heartbeat racing…
mouth twitching…
can’t stop it…
hah… hehe…

[Verse 1]
I walk in, eyes on me,
my brain’s spinning a hundred degrees.
Try to speak, words get stuck,
so I laugh, awkward, out of luck.

Everyone’s smiling, thinking it’s charm,
but inside I’m alarmed, can’t stay calm.
Hands fidget, knees bounce too,
and my laughter just breaks through.

[Pre-Chorus]
I know it’s weird, I know it’s loud,
but it’s the only way to not feel bowed.
So I grin, so I snort,
mask the nerves in every retort.

[Chorus]
Laughing when I’m nervous,
smile covers the storm.
Hiding all my chaos
in a shape that looks warm.
Tension in my chest,
but it comes out in sound —
nervous giggles echo
while I stand my ground.

[Verse 2]
They think I’m playful, maybe wild,
but inside I’m just a little riled.
Every “ha” is a tiny shield,
a little trick so I don’t yield.

Heartbeat glitching, words get fast,
my brain rewinds the awkward past.
Yet somehow, somehow it works,
they see a spark, not the quirks.

[Pre-Chorus]
I can’t stop, I won’t hide,
this laughter’s my armor, my guide.
Through the sweat, through the glare,
I’m still standing, I’m still here.

[Chorus]
Laughing when I’m nervous,
smile covers the storm.
Hiding all my chaos
in a shape that looks warm.
Tension in my chest,
but it comes out in sound —
nervous giggles echo
while I stand my ground.

[Bridge]
hah… hehe…
glitch in my brain,
can’t explain…
laughing again…
mask on my face,
heartbeat a race…
still I survive
in my own space…

[Chorus / Outro]
Laughing when I’m nervous,
smile covers the storm.
Even when I falter,
I’m still performing the form.
It’s awkward, it’s me,
it’s how I stay unbound —
nervous laughter echoes
while I own the ground.
