My Brave Face Lyrics by Elvis Costello

My Brave Face Lyrics

    (mccartney/macmanus)
    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 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
    Take me to that place
    Where i can find my brave face
    Where i can find my brave face
    My brave, my brave, my brave face

    I've been living a lie
    Unaccustomed as i am
    To the work of a housewife
    I been breaking up dirty dishes
    And been throwing them away
    Ever since you left i have been trying to compose a "baby, would you please come home" note meant for you
    As i clear away another untouched tv dinner from the table i made for two

    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 find my brave face
    Where i can find my brave face
    My brave, my brave, my brave face
