The Tracks of My Tears
Behind the Laughter: Unveiling the Hidden Heartache in 'The Tracks of My Tears'
Lyrics
People say I'm the life of the party
People perceive me as the soul of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Because I share jokes
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Though I might appear cheerful outwardly
Deep inside I'm blue
Internally, I feel sorrowful
So take a good look at my face
If you observe closely
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile doesn’t match my emotions
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
Upon closer examination, it's evident
The tracks of my tears
The visible signs of my sadness
I need you, need you
I rely on you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
When you notice me with someone else
Seeming like I'm having fun
Appearing to enjoy myself
Although she may be cute
Even if she seems appealing
She's just a substitute
She's simply a temporary replacement
Because you're the permanent one
Because you’re the one I truly desire
So take a good look at my face
Take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
My smile doesn’t fit the situation
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
On closer inspection, it’s evident
The tracks of my tears
The visible marks of my emotional pain
I need you, need you
I depend on you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Outwardly, I pretend
Inside my hope is fading
Internally, I’m losing hope
Just a clown oh yeah
I act like a clown
Since you put me down
Since you rejected me
My smile is my make up
My smile conceals my pain
I wear since my break up with you
The mask I wear post our breakup
So take a good look at my face
My smile doesn’t match my feelings
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Upon closer observation, it’s clear
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The evident signs of my inner sorrow
The tracks of my tears
