Put My Brave Face On

I would wake up in the morning and then watch TV Would get ready for school with my parents next to me My eight-year-old self wouldn't worry about a thing Just enjoy life and have fun like every human being I would bike to school with a smile on my face Would play with my friends, run around and chase Little squirrels and things, but I don't do that now Because I have things to do and I forgot how Now I stay up in my room doing homework till ten And then the next day doing the same thing again I want to go back to those dreamy days So I can escape So I put my brave face on When everything goes wrong So I put my brave face on And everyone moves on So I put my brave face on I wake up early, get ready for school Walk the dog, make lunch, and try to be grateful Take to train to school, barely getting by every day And trying to have fun but just don't have the time to play With my friends or do anything but Homework and coursework just slam my computer shut My eight-year-old self wouldn't worry about a thing Just enjoy life and have fun like every human being So I put my brave face on When everything goes wrong So I put my brave face on And everyone moves on So I put my brave face on When everything goes wrong So I put my brave face on And everyone moves on So I put my brave face on I would wake up in the morning and then watch TV Would get ready for school with my parents next to me I would bike with my friends and a smile on my face I escaped So I put my brave face on When everything goes wrong So I put my brave face on And everyone moves on So I put my brave face on When everything goes wrong So I put my brave face on And everyone moves on So I put my brave face on
