The Tracks Of My Tears Lyrics

Soul Asylum The Tracks Of My Tears

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I laugh or tell a joke or two
Though 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

I need you

If you see me with another guy
Looking like I'm having fun
May be cute, she's just a substitute
'Cause 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

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup
I'm absent 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
