My Brave Face

My brave, my brave, my brave face!

I've been livin' in style

Unaccustomed as I am

To the luxury life

I've been hittin' the town

And it didn't hit back

I've been doin' 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 wanna go bury my head

In your pillow

Now that I'm alone again

I can't stop breakin' 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 livin' a lie

Unaccustomed as I am

To the work of a housewife

I've been breakin' up

Dirty dishes and been throwin' them away

Ever since you left

I've been tryin' 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 breakin' 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!
