Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
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]
