Lyrics
When the lights go down and a hush goes through the crowd
You catch your breath with all eyes on you now
When your show is done and you finally take a bow
You're so scared they'll see
Who is underneath
You're smiling on the outside
But I can't see it in your eyes
I know you must be tired
Everybody loves you when you take the curtain call
Walkin' on a wire, trying not to fall
You keep on climbing higher, afraid to lose it all
But you are safe with me
And you don't have to be
Always the performer
Always the performer
I keep asking you, but you don't know what to say
'Cause what would I think if you're really not OK
So you fake a laugh until I walk away
You're so scared I'll see
What's underneath
Everybody loves you, you take the curtain call
Walkin' on a wire, trying not to fall
You keep on climbing higher, afraid to lose it all
But you are safe with me
And you don't have to be
Always the performer
Always the performer
You don't have to run away now
You are safe with me
All your tears, just let them pour down
You are safe with me
Everybody loves you, you take the curtain call
Walkin' on a wire, trying not to fall
You keep on climbing higher, afraid to lose it all
But you are safe with me
And you don't have to be
Always the performer
Always the performer
Always the performer
