Performance Lyrics - The Xx

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 my 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

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 my hurting 

When my heart it breaks 

I'll put on a performance 

I'll put on a brave face
