My Brave Face Lyrics - Elvis Costello

My brave, my brave, my brave face 

I've been livin' in style, unaccustomed as I am to the luxury life 

I've been hittin' the town and it didn't hit back 

I've been doin' 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 sheets back on the bed 

I want to go bury my head in your pillow

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breakin' 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 livin' a lie, unaccustomed as I am to the work of a housewife 

I've been breakin' up, dirty dishes and they throwin' them away 

Ever since you left I have been tryin' 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 

Photos 

Now that I'm alone again, I can't stop breakin' 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, my brave face
