about

No matter how much bad news, or bad behavior, I'm exposed to, I'm putting on my best face.

lyrics

News has been collecting like dust upon the sill
Coalescing like a morning dew
Sending out a message with the weight of all the world
And handing off the worst of it to you

A sea of endless faces on the outside looking in
Hiding from the sleep in a warm bed
Like staring at the pictures in someone else’s book
And living out the dream inside their head

Well, I will admit I’ve been holding it in
For better or for worse we can debate
No matter what the world may lay upon my door
I’m putting on My Best Face

The morning sun is rising and I can see the light
Coming in the bedroom blue and gold
Thinking of the hours in the days that lie ahead
And only touching things that I can hold

Well, I will admit I’ve been holding it in
For better or for worse we can debate
No matter what the world may lay upon my door
I’m putting on My Best Face

Well, I will admit I’ve been holding it in
For better or for worse we can debate
No matter what the world may lay upon my door
I’m putting on My Best Face
I’m putting on My Best Face
I’m putting on My Best Face
