neon - performative vulnerability (original mix)

[Verse 1] We didn't have much but it felt like we had everything Skyline dripping like a kingdom made of amethyst Laughin' while the streetlights hissed [Chorus] Your performative vulnerability was a little too convincing You cried pretty tears on cue, had the whole room listening You were method in the madness, you became your own script Your performative vulnerability was a little too convincing [Verse 2] You were so damn good at lookin' at me like you understood Turnin' childhood scars into cigarette art Tattooed trauma on your heart And your performative vulnerability was a little too convincing [Chorus] You bled glitter on the stage, but your pulse went missing Guess the way you broke my heart was the truest thing you did You rewrote every scene until you vanished in the ending Your performative vulnerability was a little too convincing [Bridge] Now here we are years later And you're still huntin' for an audience I should know better If it's all the same to you I'd rather love the ghost than the proof Your performative vulnerability was a little too convincing A little too unglued, a little too bewitching [Outro] Your performative vulnerability was a little too convincing Curtain call, standing ovation for the way you left me glitching
