"The Tracks Of My Tears" lyrics

The Tracks Of My Tears

People say I'm the life of the party
Cause I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing
Loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Oh, I need you
Need you

Since you left me
If you see me with another guy
Looking like I'm having fun
Although he might be cute
He's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Oh

Outside
I'm masquerading
Inside
My hope is fading
I'm just a clown
Since you put me down
My smile is my make-up
I wear since my break-up
With you

Baby, take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Woah, baby
Take a good look at my face
You know my smile looks out of place
If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
Ooh, ooh
