  • Brave face, stiff upper lip
    Will do the trick
    Look, the mask is firm, the face is mine,
    It seems fine
    until the final day
    I've played this part the only way I can
    For to live, I have to give,
    The performance of my life

    What's the truth?
    Well I won't bore you with the truth
    I knew it would be tough
    Right from day one
    But you go on
    Until the final day
    I've played this part the only way I can
    For to live, I have to give
    The performance of my life

    Made it to the top
    Although the road was steep
    and there I had a dream
    A vision of love revealed in sleep

    Right on cue
    I fell in love with you
    You caused many a tear
    I had applause
    I had a career
    Until the final day
    I've played the part the only way I can
    For to live, I have to give
    The performance of my life Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
