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
