aleksiah - who are you when you're not performing? lyrics
[verse 1]
heavy
i’m feeling heavy
no+one will love me
when i hit thirty
[verse 2]
oh, heavy
my body scares me
your love’s a tourist
who’s left already
[chorus]
who are you when you’re not performing (oh i give and i give but i still get nothing)
who are you when you’re not performing (wanna live [?])
when you wake in your bed each morning (oh i [?])
who are you when you’re not performing
[verse 3]
heavy
you’re never ready
i’ll take the pay cut
and give the curtsy
[verse 4]
oh, steady
keep your voice breathy
you won’t assure them they’re strong
until you’re dead and buried
[chorus]
who are you when you’re not performing (oh i give and i give but i still get nothing)
who are you when you’re not performing (wanna live [?])
hang your head in shame of wanting (oh i [?])
who are you when you’re not performing
[verse 5]
and i waited
in the silence
in the background
in fear of violence
[bridge]
i took the pressure
and i absorbed it
i’ll teach my daughter
how to give a good performance
[outro]
how, oh
how
how
