The tracks of my tears

Now playing: Adam Lambert - Tracks Of My Tears (Live)

People say I'm the life of the party
Because 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.

Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
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'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, I need you..

In his file video with Smokey Robinson. Adam lambert asked what was the inspiration behind this song. He said, "...I thought about, what if a person had cried so much that if you look close up to them until you see the tears and the tracks on their face..."

We just came, from chief's funeral. I really could not help but cry, when his wife said that chief was really concern whenever the staff were being scolded. Every time our boss disparages anyone at the branch. His wife even went on telling how chief was striving to always be extra nice to all clients of the unit. He said he wants the unit to have more clients. He was also concern on how to help the staff in dealing with the boss. It was really heart-breaking to hear those things. Personally, he was very kind and helpful. He would really do that extra mile for you, even if he's not feeling well. He usually helps me carry the bag.
