"Performer" lyrics

Heart's too
Used to being lonely
Stuck in muscle memory
No one really knows me
Is my independence
Coming back to bite me
Do you really like me?
Or are we pretending?

I'm a performer
That's what I know how to do
But is it stopping
Me getting close to you?

I'm a performer
Got myself cornered
Put on my armor
Just like my mother and father

Multiple versions
Of the same person
All of them hurting
Don't think the performance is working

Every time I try to
Be more vulnerable
It's like I hit a wall
Can't go any further
I don't wish this
On anyone
It's gone on way too long
Patterns unbreakable

I'm a performer
Got myself cornered
Put on my armor
Just like my mother and father

Multiple versions
Of the same person
All of them hurting
Don't think the performance is working

I'm a performer
Got myself cornered
Put on my armor
Just like my mother and father

Multiple versions
Of the same person
All of them hurting
Don't think the performance is working

I'm a performer
Got myself cornered
Put on my armor
Just like my mother and father

Multiple versions
Of the same person
All of them hurting
Don't think the performance is working
