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
