Performance

If I scream at the top of my lungs

Will you hear what I don't say?

If I dance like I'm on the stage

Will you see I seem out of place?

If I put on a disguise

Will you think everything's alright?

If I leave before the end

Will you forget that I was there?

You saw me leaving

Did you think I had a place to go?

Since you stopped believing

I've had to put on my own show

I'll put on a performance

I'll put on a show

It is a performance

I do it all so

You won't see me hurting

When my heart it breaks

I'll put on a performance

I'll put on a brave face

Even when I was hurting

You could always find me

Now you've stopped looking for me

But I'm still playing hide and seek

I want you to notice

But you just don't see

The show is wasted on you

So I perform for me

So I perform for me

So I perform for me

So I perform for me

I'll put on a performance

I'll put on a show

It is a performance

I do it all so

You won't see my hurting

When my heart it breaks

I'll put on a performance

I'll put on a brave face
