Tracks of My Tears
Behind the Laughter: Unveiling the Heartache in Mica Paris' 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
Due to my ability to tell jokes
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Even though I may laugh loudly and enthusiastically
Deep inside I'm blue
Internally, I feel sad and depressed
So take a good look at my face
Examine my face 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
Upon closer inspection, it's easy to identify
The tracks of my tears
The emotional evidence of my pain and sorrow
I need you, need you
I depend on you, yearn for you
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 seem like I'm enjoying myself
Although she may be cute
Even if the other person is attractive
She's just a substitute
She's merely 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
Inspect my face closely
You'll see my smile looks out of place
You'll notice my smile is not genuine
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer examination, it's easy to identify
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of my emotional pain
I need you, need you
I rely on you, desperately need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Externally, I'm pretending and hiding my true feelings
Inside my hope is fading
Internally, my optimism is diminishing
Just a clown oh yeah
Describing myself as a clown
Since you put me down
Since you rejected me
My smile is my make up
My smile is like a mask
I wear since my break up with you
I wear it as a cover-up since our breakup
So take a good look at my face
Examine my face closely
You'll see my smile looks out of place
You'll notice my smile is forced
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
Upon closer inspection, it's easy to identify
The tracks of my tears
The visible evidence of the pain I'm enduring
