American Idol - Tracks of My Tears lyrics

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 I need you, need you Since you left me if you see me with another girl Looking like I'm having fun Although she 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 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
