The Robert Cray Band - Picture Of A Broken Heart lyrics

rate me

You're out with friends going club to club I see you almost every night I watch you dance every dance Men lined up left and right I hear you tell them stories Of your happy neon life You paint a pretty picture Deception's quite an art Just one look into your party face There's a picture of a broken heart There's a picture of a broken heart You wear your smile a little too tight You flirt too much with the band You laugh and sing just a little too loud Like someone who's just lost their man Your act is quite convincing But loneliness leaves clues You paint a pretty picture Deception's quite an art Just one look into your party face There's a picture of a broken heart There's a picture of a broken heart I can see a thousand heartaches hidden in your stare The hurt behind those sad eyes, I been there I've had my own high times and I've had my falls You can talk a thousand words, but one picture says it all SOLO I glance at you while no one's looking I see the pain cloud up your eyes I've watched you blink back a memory I've watched you choke back a cry But when the light's back on you You're right back in disguise You paint a pretty picture Deception's quite an art Just one look into your party face There's a picture of a broken heart There's a picture of a broken heart There's a picture of a broken heart Yeah, yeah I know you've been crying
