A little extra make-up To hide my tears I flash the world a smile Hope my frown disappears Heaven knows I'm just pretending While I'm tendin' to a broken heart Smoky neon small talk Gin with no vermouth I hide in the shadows Where it's hard to see the truth My demons keep winning While I'm tendin' to a broken heart These flights of fancy All the trips that I take To new destinations From old heartaches Little vacations From falling apart While I'm tendin' to a broken heart Bought me a new dress And a long strand of pearls But I'm blind to their luster Without you in my world What good is my money If I can't spend it While I'm tendin' to a broken heart? These flights of fancy All the trips that I take To new destinations From old heartaches Little vacations From falling apart While I'm tendin' to a broken heart
