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
