Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one
I most certainly tried and tried to reach out until it seemed utterly futile. The dishonesty is what made me finally give up - which is no secret. This is why I want the Big Lie to go down so much. It is amazing how hard it is to believe what’s totally obvious.
I was in the audience in Westhampton during this run. I was already bitter and disappointed by this point and I could not even enjoy the show. I just wanted to leave. It hurt me so much.
But I put this up outside that theater a few short years later.

“The Tracks Of My Tears" Lyrics
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
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She'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 a little bit 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
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you
So baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Yeah just look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears, baby, baby
Baby take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
Oh look a little bit closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears
