I wash that face of yesterday, The minute I wake up, No tell tale trace to give me away, It's covered with make up, Happy I appear to be, Dig a little deeper, Any child can see You can't dress up a broken heart, You can' t fool love when it falls apart, And you just don't hide all the empty inside, You can pull the wool over some folk's eyes, You can go downtown in a new disguise, but you can't dress up a broken heart. I greet the world in shiny shoes, A knight in her armor, I keep the real and lonely me where no one can harm her, Putting on some fancy clothes Doesn't stop the pain from going where it goes You can't dress up a broken heart, You can' t fool love when it falls apart, And you just don't hide all the empty inside, You can pull the wool over some folk's eyes, You can go downtown in a new disguise, but you can't dress up a broken heart.
