Nik Kershaw Your Brave Face
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
