Always the life of the party  
Always the clown of the class  
All of my friends see me happy baby  
But happy is only a mask  
 
Nobody knows when I'm alone inside my room  
I sing another tune  
 
[Chorus:] 
I'm goin' down  
When I hear the sound  
The sound of my tears  
When you're not around  
It's all I can do  
When I listen to  
The sound of my tears baby when I'm missing you  
 
Don't mind the sounds of the city baby  
Don't mind the noise of the crowd  
Just when I'm lonely with my thoughts of you  
The silence is always too loud  
 
Pay it no mind  
You know the truth behind the smile  
It's only just a lie  
 
[Chorus x 2] 
 
Pay it no mind  
You know the truth behind the smile  
It's only just a lie  
 
[Repeat chorus to fade]
