A Brave Face

I thought I was on the safe side of the river this time

And now I'm realizing it's time to sink or swim

And she moves from room to room with no thoughts of love or loss

I'm as shattered as broken dishes

She's as steady as the Southern Cross

And I know that she knows and I know that she sees

That I was never too good with reality

So I'm putting on a brave face

Wearing a brave face

Putting on a brave face today

Yeah, I get out my brave face

Wearing a brave face

Putting on a brave face today

Oh, and one of two things could happen here

Sometimes there's no distance between laughter and tears

I had a dream last night that we had got shipwrecked

And we both were slipping, sliding on that upper deck

And tomorrow may be sun, tomorrow may be rain

I keep checking with the weatherman inside

Before I put on a brave face

Wearing a brave face

Putting on a brave face today

Yeah, I get out my brave face

Putting on a brave face

Wearing a brave face today

Oh, and one of two things could happen here

Might find out the distance between laughter and tears

Yes, and one of two things could happen here

Or sometimes there's no distance between laughter and tears

So I put on a brave face today

Ooh, ooh

So I'm putting on a brave face today
