Your Brave Face Lyrics - Nik Kershaw

Make a joke about it 

Make me feel all right 

Paint bright colours over it 

Paint it out of sight 

Change around some numbers 

'Til it all makes sense 

Put it down, put it down to experience 

The rain is coming down, the wind is blowing 

The cold is biting, still you're showing 

Your brave face is never fooling anybody 

Your brave face is putting on a show 

Your brave face 

You've got to learn to trust somebody 

It's time to live, time to cry, time to let it go 

Tell me you can take it 

You're OK more or less 

Just another dog's dinner 

Just another fine mess 

You don't need my charity 

You can deal with this 

Shrug it all off, shrug it all off, 

that's the way it is 

Smile and tell me shit will happen 

When all your life your life's been slapping 

Your brave face is never fooling anybody 

Your brave face is putting on a show 

Your brave face 

You've got to learn to trust somebody 

It's time to live, time to cry, time to let it go 

I'd like to know how long you think you 

can keep the same expression 

Never blinking, never shrinking from the 

fists you kiss 

And I'd like to know how brave 

you think that is 

I see white teeth shining through the black 

and blue 

Say it out loud, say it out loud, I'll still be 

there for you 

Your brave face is never fooling anybody 

Your brave face is putting on a show 

Your brave face 

You've got to learn to trust somebody 

It's time to live, time to cry, time to let it go
