The Tracks of My Tears
Behind the Laughter: Unveiling the Pain in 'The Tracks of My Tears'
Lyrics
People say I'm the life of the party
People perceive me as the life of the party.
Because I tell a joke or two
I entertain by telling jokes.
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Despite my outward laughter, I feel sadness within.
Deep inside I'm blue
Internally, I am experiencing a sense of melancholy.
So take a good look at my face
Examine my facial expression closely.
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile seems inappropriate or forced.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it's evident.
The tracks of my tears
These are the visible signs of my emotional pain.
I need you, need you
I rely on you; I need you.
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
After our separation, if you see me with someone else.
Seeming like I'm having fun
It may seem like I'm enjoying myself.
Although she may be cute
Even if the new person is attractive,
She's just a substitute
They are just a temporary replacement.
Because you're the permanent one
You, however, are irreplaceable.
So take a good look at my face
Again, scrutinize my expression.
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile is incongruent with my true feelings.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
If you look closely, you can see.
The tracks of my tears
The evidence of my emotional pain is undeniable.
I need you, need you
Reiterating the need for your presence.
Outside I'm masquerading
Outwardly, I pretend and wear a mask.
Inside my hope is fading
Internally, my optimism is diminishing.
Just a clown oh yeah
I play the role of a clown, concealing my pain.
Since you put me down
Since you rejected me, my happiness has vanished.
My smile is my make up
My smile is a facade, a makeup I wear.
I wear since my break up with you
Continuing to wear this smile since our breakup.
So take a good look at my face
Once again, examine my face closely.
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile is a deceptive cover for my pain.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On careful observation, you can trace.
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of the tears I've shed.
