Brave Face

(album: Nothing I Write You Can Change What You've Been Through - 2016)

I spent yesterday reading all you had to say
From letters I kept safe, for just an hour of your day

You were bleeding on this page
It was all I had of you

I know that nothing I write you
Can change what you've been through
I hope you found some room to grow

I spent yesterday
Trying to numb the pain
Had to hold myself together
Knowing I could say it better
Every letter is in vain

Wish I was bleeding on this page
I know it'd mean a lot to you

I know that nothing I write you
Can change what you've been through
I hope you found some room to grow

I'm putting on war paint, I'm going alone
I'm getting my head straight, I want you to know
I put on a brave face, I'll wear it for two
Through rocks, through sea, through snow
I'll wait for you to find your way back home
