We must stop pretending
That we have a love affair
It wasn't what we had intended
So we've got to leave it there
Were drowning our hearts in emotion
It only will lead to dismay
So what is the use?
Were leading ourselves astray.
Chorus
We don't see love the way we should
Were putting a brave face on
Our eyes tell us that it's no good
Just putting a brave face on
We know our hearts don't beat as one
We're putting a brave face on.

We must stop relating
To things those real lovers do
There's no use in anticipating
A future that won't come true
Were filling our minds with these notions
That everything we do is real
But we know the truth
But were blind to the real way we feel
Chorus
We don't see love the way we should
Were putting a brave face on
Our eyes tell us that it's no good
Just putting a brave face on
We know our hearts don't beat as one
We're putting a brave face on.

There's no use in crying
Your tears are not meant for me
And I guess that I would be lying
If I said I loved you too.
So we got to say that it's over
Stop playing this crazy love scene.
So let's kiss goodbye to this fantasy world we live in.
Chorus
We don't see love the way we should
Were putting a brave face on
Our eyes tell us that it's no good
Just putting a brave face on
We know our hearts don't beat as one
We're putting a brave face on.
