The xx — Performance

[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
