emily steed - performer mode lyrics
performer mode
[verse one]
it’s not an issue anymore
crying on my bedroom floor
no one ever knows it
no one bothers to notice
my eyes are red
there’s a pounding in my head
but it’s alright
[chorus]
i’ve been doing it my whole life
everything is wrong but that’s alright
that’s alright
i’d prefer to not be reassured
you know it always ends in hurt
but i can’t show it
cause if i’m out of character for one moment
i’ll just stay in performer mode
stay in performer mode
it’s all i’ve ever known
[verse two]
i get too emotional
of things i can’t control
so i hide it
cause otherwise i’ll cry and
i don’t wanna ruin my image
so you can say i can cry
but it’s alright
[chorus]
i’ve been doing it my whole life
everything is wrong but that’s alright
that’s alright
i’d prefer to not be reassured
you know it always ends in hurt
but i can’t show it
cause if i’m out of character for one moment
i’ll just stay (stay) in performer mode
(stay) stay in performer mode
it’s all i’ve ever known
[bridge]
you gave me up like i was an extra penny you had
you had to have known that i loved you so bad
tore up the tapestry like it wasn’t symbolic of what we have
painting a portrait of a protecting cad
you don’t correspond that
only the outside half
but if i’d known the real you before i got to know you
man that’s a road i would’ve looked ahead and then turned back
you had to have known you didn’t want what we had
but i’ll snap back into performer mode just like that
[chorus
i’ve been doing it my whole life
everything is wrong but that’s alright
that’s alright
i’d prefer to not be reassured
you know it always ends in hurt
but i can’t show it
cause if i’m out of character for one moment
i’ll just stay (stay) in performer mode
(stay) stay in performer mode
it’s all i’ve ever known
[outro]
i’ll just stay (stay) in performer mode
(stay) stay in performer mode
it’s all i’ve ever known
