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 going to get back


Ever since you went away

I've had the 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 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
