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
