Soul Asylum The Tracks of My Tears lyrics

People say, I'm the life of the party
'Cause I laugh or tell a joke or two
Although I smile and my laugh maybe hearty
Deep inside I'm feeling 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, I need you

If you see me out with another guy
Lookin' like I'm havin' fun
Maybe cute, he's just a substitute
'Cause you know that you're the only one

So take a good look at my face
See my smile looks out of place

If you look closer it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, I need you

Now 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've had since my break-up with you

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
