Lyrics My Brave Face - Paul McCartney, Elvis Costello

My Brave Face

I’ve been living in style
Unaccostumed as I am
To the luxury life
I’ve been hitting the town
But it didn’t hit back
I’ve been doing the rounds
Unaccostumed 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 this sentimental inclination
Not to change a single thing
As I pull the sheets 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
I’ve been living a lie
Unaccostumed as I am
To the work of a housewife
I’ve been breaking up
Dirty dishes and 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
