The Tracks of My Tears
Behind the Laughter: Unveiling the Heartache in 'The Tracks of My Tears'
Lyrics
People say I'm the life of the party
People perceive me as the center of enjoyment in social gatherings
'Cause I tell a joke or two
Because I am known for sharing jokes
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Despite appearing cheerful externally, inwardly I feel sad
Deep inside I'm blue
I am experiencing emotional distress or depression within
So take a good look at my face
I invite you to closely examine my facial expression
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile doesn't match my true feelings
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
Upon closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of sorrow or pain are evident in my tears
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Since our breakup, if you witness me with another woman
See me like I'm having fun
It might seem like I'm enjoying myself
Although she may be cute, she's just a substitute
Despite her attractiveness, she's merely a temporary replacement
Because you're the permanent one
Because you remain the one I truly desire
So take a good look at my face
Once again, I encourage scrutiny of my facial expression
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile is not reflective of my emotional state
If you still look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer examination, the evidence of pain becomes clearer
The tracks of my tears, I need you, need you
The evident signs of my sorrowful emotions, I still long for you
Outside, I'm masquerading
Externally, I am wearing a facade or pretending
Inside my heart is fading
Internally, I am experiencing a decline in my feelings
Just a clown, since you put me down
I'm portraying a clown-like persona since your rejection
My smile is my makeup
My smile serves as a disguise or a mask
I wear since my breakup with you
It's a facade I wear following our breakup
Baby, take a good look at my face
I urge you to closely examine my face once more
See my smile looks out of place
My smile does not genuinely represent my emotional state
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
Upon closer inspection, the traces of my sorrow are evident
The tracks of my tears
The evidence of my tears is noticeable
