My Brave Face

My brave, My brave, My brave face

I've been living in style,

Unaccustomed as I am

To the luxury life,

I've been hitting the town

And it didn't hit back.

I've been doing the rounds

Unaccustomed as I am

To the time on my hands,

Now I don't have to tell anybody

When I'm going to get back.

Ever since you went away

I've had this sentimental inclination

Not to change a single thing

As I pull the sheet back on the bed,

I want to go bury my head

In your pillow.

Now that I'm alone again

I can't stop breaking down again

The simplest things set me off again

And take me to that place

Where I can't find my brave face,

Where I can't find my brave face,

My brave, my brave, my brave face.

My brave face.

I've been living a lie

Unaccustomed as I am

To the work of a housewife,

I've been breaking up

Dirty dishes and throwing them away.

Ever since you left I have been trying to

Compose a 'baby will you please come home' note

Meant for you.

As I clear away another

Untouched t.v. dinner

From the table I laid for two.

Now that I'm alone again

I can't stop breaking down again

The simplest things set me off again

And take me to that place

Where I can't find my brave face,

Where I can't find my brave face,

My brave, my brave, my brave face.

My brave face.
