when you step out the door
of the place thats safe
you gotta keep your cool
just put on a brave face
oh o oh
when you're there in the world
and you dont know you
do the only thing you know how to
just put on a brave face
oh o oh

and i know
ya i know
what you're going through
and i know ya i know
that you say you wont let 'em get to you
but deep down you know that you do
so just put on a brave face

when you're there in school
and you're still not sure
what it is you're working for
just put on a brave face

and you feel alone
you're going through it all on your own
so just put on a brave face oh o oh

and i know

what you're going through
and i know ya i know
that you say now they mean nothing to you
but deep down you know thats not true
so just put on a brave face

fingers point
people laugh
and you're scared
when you're on your own
and you're feelin' alone
'cause nobody's there

your brave face

ya i know
what you're going through
and i know

things like that are easier to say than do
but keep on pushin' through

what you're going through
and i know ya i know
that you say you wont let 'em get to you
but deep down you know that you do
so just put on a brave face
