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
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 my life
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've been trying 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

Now that I'm alone again
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
