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 gonna 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 the 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 TV 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
