A song about being very sick with Cancer but trying not to tell people so that they don't feel bad.

lyrics

I'm almost ready to go
I'm putting on my brave face for you
I don't want you to know
That my time is nearly through

But I know - and now I see clearly
What I never did before
And I get so weary
Of explaining why and what for
So I put on my Brave Face
To make you feel good inside
I hope when I'm gone
You'll forgive me for the lie
Cause I put on my Brave Face for you
And I put on my Brave Face for me

You see me on the town
I'll tell you everything is fine
Well, yeah I'm doing well
Really dodged a bullet this time

But you don't know
The bullet's still in me
And its never going away
So I tell you what you want to hear
Instead of what I want to say
And I put on my Brave Face
So I don't have to explain
How I really feel all the time
And how there's still so much pain
So I put on my Brave Face for you
And I put on my Brave Face for me
I put on my Brave Face for
Everyone to see...
