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'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

When you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
You're the permanent one

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

Outside (I'm masquerading)
Outside (my hope is fading)
Outside (since you put me down)
My smile is my makeup
I wear since my break up with you, my baby

People say I'm the life of the party
I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue (no, baby, no, no)

Since you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
You're the permanent one (you're the permanent one)

People say I'm the life of the party (ooh)
I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughin' loud and hearty (I'm masqueradin')
Deep inside I'm blue (my hope is fading)

Since you're gone if you see me with another girl
Acting like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
