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
I use humor to entertain and engage with others
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Despite appearing cheerful, I may be internally sad
Deep inside I'm blue
Deep within, I am experiencing sadness
So take a good look at my face
Examine my face closely
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile seems incongruent with my true emotions
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, one can easily discern
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of the emotional pain I'm enduring
I need you, need you
Expressing a strong desire for your presence
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
After you left, being seen with another is a facade
Seeming like I'm having fun
It may seem like I'm enjoying myself
Although she may be cute
Although the other girl is attractive
She's just a substitute
She's merely a temporary replacement
Because you're the permanent one
You are the one I truly long for
So take a good look at my face
Examine my face closely (repeated)
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile seems incongruent with my true emotions (repeated)
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, one can easily discern (repeated)
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of the emotional pain I'm enduring (repeated)
I need you, need you
Expressing a strong desire for your presence (repeated)
Outside I'm masquerading
Externally pretending, but internally losing hope
Inside my hope is fading
My optimism is diminishing
Just a clown oh yeah
Describing oneself as a clown since the breakup
Since you put me down
Experiencing sadness since you ended the relationship
My smile is my make up
My smile serves as a disguise
I wear since my break up with you
I wear a smile as a form of makeup since our breakup
So take a good look at my face
Examine my face closely (repeated)
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile seems incongruent with my true emotions (repeated)
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, one can easily discern (repeated)
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of the emotional pain I'm enduring (repeated)
