The Performer lyrics

All I am, all I am is Six strings and a smile I was twelve, I was twelve I ran five minute miles They would clap, they would clap At every talent show Keep my smile, keep my smile Through all the highs and lows Do you see me, do you see me Or do I have to scream? Would you love me, would you love me If I lost everything? I've crying, I've crying The smiles turn to frowns On my chest, on my chest These badges weigh me down Traded places, traded places With a man who looks like me Prince or popper, pop or prince He's who I wanna to be Take away, take away My six strings smile fades Back in school, back in school I got the worst grades They would say, they would say I'd never make it far I was dumb, I was dumb Those bullets left their scar When she died, when she died My heart just up in tore So I'll sing, so I'll sing Until they love me more Do you see me, do you see me Or do I have to scream? Would you love me, would you love me If I lost everything? I've crying, I've crying The smiles turn to frowns On my chest, on my chest These badges weigh me down On my chest, on my chest These badges weigh me down
