The Tracks of My Tears (American Idol Studio Version)

People say I'm the life of the party
'Cause I make 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 see 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 somebody else
Seems like I'm having fun
Although they might be cute, as there is just no substitute
'Cause you're the only permanent one

So take a good look at my face
You see 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

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

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