[Verse 1] Woke up in last night’s jokes Mascara maps I won’t explain Practice my party smile In the mirror on the windowpane Call all my friends Say “I’m good I’m golden I’m okay” Hide every crack I find Under glitter and a getaway [Pre-Chorus] If you look too close You’ll see Tiny earthquakes under skin So I laugh a little louder Till the tremors turn to wind [Chorus] I put on my brave face Dancing through the heartache Spinning in the same space But I say that I’m fine (so fine) Every little heartbreak Turns into a half-truth Moving like I won’t break Though I’m bending inside (inside) I put on my brave face Let it bloom in the light [Verse 2] Snapshots and plastic cheers Tag me in moments I don’t feel Sip from a paper cup Like it’s courage Like it’s something real You touch my arm and ask “Are you sure you’re really alright?” I pull my mask in place Let the laughter be my alibi [Pre-Chorus] If you stay too long You’ll hear All the questions in my chest So I talk about the weather Till the thunder gets some rest [Chorus] I put on my brave face Dancing through the heartache Spinning in the same space But I say that I’m fine (I’m fine) Every little heartbreak Turns into a half-truth Moving like I won’t break Though I’m bending inside (inside) I put on my brave face Let it bloom in the light [Bridge] Maybe one day I’ll Let the tears come Let them fall (let them fall) Stand in the middle Of the mess and tell it all But tonight I’ll chase Every shadow with a smile Till the morning finds me Softer for a little while [Chorus] I put on my brave face Dancing through the heartache Spinning in the same space But I say that I’m fine (so fine) Every little heartbreak Turns into a half-truth Moving like I won’t break Though I’m bending inside I put on my brave face I put on my brave face Let it bloom in the light
