Tracks of My Tears Songtext

von Patty Griffin

People say I'm the life of the party 'cause I tell a joke or two
Although I may 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

Since you left me if you see me with another guy
Looking like I'm having fun
Although he may be cute he's just a substitute
Because 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
Inside my hope is fading
I'm just a clown since you put me down
My smile is my makeup I wear since my breakup with you

Baby, 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
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
