Tracks of My Tears
Smiles Hide the Pain: Unraveling the Emotional Journey in Detroit Soul Sensation's Masterpiece
Lyrics
People say I'm the life of the party
People perceive me as the life of social gatherings
Because I tell a joke or two
Due to my ability to share jokes
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Even though I may seem joyous and boisterous
Deep inside I'm blue
Internally, I am feeling sad and depressed
So take a good look at my face
Examine my facial expression closely
You'll see my smile looks out of place
You'll notice my smile seems incongruent
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
That my tears leave visible marks on my face
I need you, need you
I depend on you, I need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Since you departed, if you spot me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
It may seem like I'm enjoying myself
Although she may be cute
Even if she appears attractive
She's just a substitute
She's just a temporary replacement
Because you're the permanent one
Because you are the one I truly desire
So take a good look at my face
Examine my facial expression closely
You'll see my smile looks out of place
You'll notice my smile seems incongruent
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
That my tears leave visible marks on my face
I need you, need you
I depend on you, I need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Externally, I'm pretending and wearing a mask
Inside my hope is fading
Internally, my optimism is diminishing
Just a clown oh yeah
I'm just a clown, especially since you rejected me
Since you put me down
Ever since you abandoned me
My smile is my make up
My smile is like makeup, concealing my true emotions
I wear since my break up with you
I wear it since our breakup
So take a good look at my face
Examine my facial expression closely
You'll see my smile looks out of place
You'll notice my smile seems incongruent
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
That my tears leave visible marks on my face
