Tendin' to a Broken Heart

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
