Persona (Explicit)

Persona (Explicit) - Charli xcx

Lyrics by：Charlotte Aitchison/Alexander Guy Cook/Finn Keane

Produced by：A. G. Cook/Finn Keane

Sometimes I wonder if you realize 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 'cos 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
