My brave face

My brave face Lyrics

I've been living in style,
unaccostumed as I am
to the luxury life,
I've been hitting the town
but it didn't hit back

I've been doing the rounds
unaccostumed 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 sheets 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

I've been living a lie
unaccostumed 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
