Lyrics

[Intro]

My brave

My brave

My brave face

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Now that I'm alone again

I can't stop breaking down again

The simplest things set me off again

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

[Chorus]

My brave face

[Verse 3]

Well, I've been living a lie

Unaccustomed as I am

To the work of a housewife

I've been breaking up dirty dishes and been throwing them away

[PreChorus]

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

[Chorus]

Now that I'm alone again

I can't stop breaking down again

The simplest things set me off again

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

[Outro]

My brave face
