Persona - Charli XCX

Sometimes I wonder if you realise the way you come across

It's kind of crazy

Wish you could be honest about your internal dialogue

It wouldn't faze me

You like the sound of your voice

And I like the sound of mine

Every day you're suffering

But you say you're doing fine

I love the stories you tell

But I can tell when you lie

Don't fucking choke on your ego when you see me coming

I know you're performing, I know that you're hurting

So you try to hide it when you see me coming

Don't wanna confront it, I'm scared I'm annoying

You call me your best friend to keep me at arm's length

I'd write you a letter, but you'd probably burn it

Deflect and then shower me in adoration

You think you're so clever, I think you are too

You know I see you when you see me

I gotta say, I do respect the commitment to the bit, now that's persona

We're both under the influence of life imitating art

And we both know it

You like the sound of your voice

And I like the sound of mine

I see your face in a film

And it makes me wanna cry

I love the stories you tell

But I can tell when you lie

Don't fucking choke on your ego when you see me coming

I know you're performing, I know that you're hurting

So you try to hide it when you see me coming

Don't wanna confront it, I'm scared I'm annoying

You call me your best friend, I secretly love it

I find it frustrating

Sometimes I get triggered

And that's probably 'cause you and I are alike, yeah

I think I'm so clever, you think I am too

I know you see me when I see you

When you see me

When I see you

When you see me

When I see you
