My Brave Face

[Intro]
My brave, my brave, my brave face!

[Verse 1]
I've been livin' in style
Unaccustomed as I am
To the luxury life
I've been hittin' the town
And it didn't hit back

[Verse 2]
I've been doin' the rounds
Unaccustomed as I am
To the time on my hands
Now I don't have to tell anybody
When I'm gonna get back

[Pre-Chorus]
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 wanna go bury my head
In your pillow

[Chorus]
Now that I'm alone again
I can't stop breakin' 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!

[Verse 2]
I've been livin' a lie
Unaccustomed as I am
To the work of a housewife
I've been breakin' up
Dirty dishes and been throwin' them away

[Pre-Chorus]
Ever since you left
I've been tryin' to compose a
"Baby, will you please come home?" note
Meant for you
As I clear away another untouched TV dinner
From the table I laid for two

[Chorus]
Now that I'm alone again
I can't stop breakin' down again
The simplest things set me off again
And take me to that place
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!
