Heavy, I'm feeling heavy
No one will love me when I hit 30
Heavy, my body scares me
Your love's a tourist who's left already
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?
(oh to live and to live for the thrill of loving)
When you wake in your bed each morning
(oh I dip and dive into where I'm not wanted)
Who are you when you're not performing?
Heavy, you're never ready
I'll take the pay cut and give the curtsy
Steady, keep your voice breathy
You wanna show them they're strong until you're dead and buried
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?
(oh to live and live for the thrill of loving)
Hang your head in shame of wanting
(oh I dip and dive into where I'm not wanted)
Who are you when you're not performing?
And I waited
In the silence
In the background
In fear of violence
I took the pressure
And I absorbed it
I'll teach my daughter how to give a good performance
