The Tracks of My Tears (American Idol Performance)
People say I'm the life of the party 'Cause I tell a joke or two Although I might be laughin' 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 Ho-oh-oh-oh I need you (need you), need you (need you)
Since you left me, if you see me with another guy Lookin' like I'm havin' 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-oh-oh-ho
(outside) I'm masqueradin' (inside) My hope's fadin' (I'm just a clown) since you put me down My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup 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
