The Performer

(专辑： Somebody To You - 2022)

When the lights go down and a hush goes through the crowd
You catch your breath with all eyes on you now
When your show is done and you finally take a bow
You're so scared they'll see
Who is underneath

You're smiling on the outside
But I can't see it in your eyes
I know you must be tired

Everybody loves you when you take the curtain call
Walking on a wire, trying not to fall
You keep on climbing higher, afraid to lose it all
But you are safe with me
And you don't have to be
Always the performer
Always the performer

I keep asking you, but you don't know what to say
'Cause what would I think if you're really not OK
So you fake a laugh until I walk away
You're so scared I'll see
What's underneath

Everybody loves you, you take the curtain call
Walking on a wire, trying not to fall
You keep on climbing higher, afraid to lose it all
But you are safe with me
And you don't have to be
Always the performer
Always the performer

You don't have to run away now
You are safe with me
All your tears, just let them pour down
You are safe with me

Everybody loves you, you take the curtain call
Walking on a wire, trying not to fall
You keep on climbing higher, afraid to lose it all
But you are safe with me
And you don't have to be
Always the performer
Always the performer
Always the performer
