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
