Lyrics

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
