Lyrics

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 wanna 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

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

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
My brave face
