Tracks of My Tears
Behind the Laughter: Unveiling the Hidden Pain in 'Tracks of My Tears'
Lyrics
People say I'm the life of the party
People perceive me as the center of joy and fun in social gatherings
Because I tell a joke or two
Because I share humorous anecdotes
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Even though I might appear cheerful and boisterous externally
Deep inside I'm blue
Internally, I feel sad and melancholic
So take a good look at my face
Observe my face closely
You'll see my smile looks out of place
You'll notice that my smile doesn't match my true emotions
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of my sorrow and pain
I need you, need you
I yearn for you, I require your presence
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Since you departed, if you witness me with another woman
Seeming like I'm having fun
It may seem like I'm enjoying myself
Although she may be cute
Although she may be attractive
She's just a substitute
She's simply a temporary replacement
Because you're the permanent one
Because you're the one I truly long for
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 authentically reflect my feelings
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of my sorrow and pain
I need you, need you
I yearn for you, I require your presence
Outside I'm masquerading
Outwardly, I'm pretending
Inside my hope is fading
Internally, my optimism is diminishing
Just a clown oh yeah
I'm just a performer, a facade
Since you put me down
Since you rejected me
My smile is my make up
My smile is a mask I wear
I wear since my break up with you
That I've put on 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 doesn't authentically reflect my feelings
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of my sorrow and pain
