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 life of social gatherings.
Because I tell a joke or two
My humor is a facade to hide my true emotions.
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Even though I may seem joyful externally,
Deep inside I'm blue
Internally, I'm experiencing sadness or melancholy.
So take a good look at my face
Examine my face closely,
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile doesn't genuinely reflect my emotional state.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
That my tears leave a trace on my countenance.
I need you, need you
I depend on you; I yearn for your presence.
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Since you departed, if you observe me with someone else,
Seeming like I'm having fun
It may appear like I'm enjoying myself outwardly.
Although she may be cute
Even if the other person is charming,
She's just a substitute
They are 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
Observe my face closely,
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile doesn't belong, indicating inner turmoil.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
Upon closer examination, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
That my tears leave a visible mark.
I need you, need you
I long for you desperately;
Outside I'm masquerading
Externally, I'm pretending,
Inside my hope is fading
Internally, my optimism is diminishing.
Just a clown oh yeah
I play the role of a clown,
Since you put me down
Since the moment you rejected me.
My smile is my make up
My smile is like a mask,
I wear since my break up with you
Worn to conceal the pain since our separation.
So take a good look at my face
Examine my face closely,
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile is incongruent with my emotional state.
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
Upon closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
That the signs of my tears are discernible.
