Performance Lyrics
[Verse 1: Romy Madley Croft]
If I scream at the top of my lungs
Will you hear what I don't say?
If I dance like I'm on a 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?
[Pre-Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
When 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
[Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
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
[Verse 2: Romy Madley Croft]
Even when I was hiding
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
[Pre-Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
When 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
[Chorus: Romy Madley Croft]
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
If I scream at the top of my lungs
Will you hear what I don't say?
If I dance like I'm on a 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?
When 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 hiding
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
When 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

What a song. It's putting on a show for the world to see, you want people to try and see through you, to know what you are really feeling. But it doesn't happen.
Saw this live when she sang it for the first time. Amazing.
