Brave Face

[Verse 1]
Two long years of sturdiness
I know it couldn't stay like this
Locking down the permanence
Seemed a possibility
You took all I had to give
Look at what you've left me with
A space so bare, a heart so dim
I'll fill it with the love I give

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes, I feel like I'm searching for a motive
'Cause my brain can rest with hate over sadness
I know I talk it well, but sometimes

[Chorus]
It's just a brave face
Fill up the car and run away
I'll end in the same place
I know it's hard and all that you want from me is a brave face
Try to ignore the hurt that you made
I'll do it for your sake
Hide it under the brave face, yeah

[Verse 2]
Gone in summer, am I too warm?
You found another and I'm still holding on to
That version of you
Didn't think I'd be someone to forget
And I'm sticking to my side of the bed, it's hard here
But you made it clear

[Pre-Chorus]
Sometimes, I feel like I'm searching for a motive
'Cause my brain can rest with hate over sadness
I know I talk it well, but sometimes

[Chorus]
It's just a brave face
Fill up the car and run away
I'll end in the same place
I know it's hard and all that you want from me is a brave face
Try to ignore the hurt that you made
I'll do it for your sake
Hide it under the brave face, yeah

[Bridge]
Sometimes, I still want it
With a sense of regret
Right down from the feel of your touch to an old cigarette
I know I talk it well, but sometimes
It's just a brave face
I know I talk it well, but sometimes
It's just a—
It's just a—

[Chorus]
It's just a brave face (Brave face)
Fill up the car and run away
I'll end in the same place
I know it's hard and all that you want from me is a brave face
Try to ignore the hurt that you made
I'll do it for your sake
Hide it under the brave face, yeah
