[Verse 1]
He sat alone in the back of the class
Hoodie pulled low, let the whole world pass
Every hallway laugh cut deep like a knife
Pretty girls smiling while they ruined his life
“Hey loser,” whispered when he walked by
Fake little sympathy in their painted eyes
So he stopped looking up, stopped trying to speak
Got used to feeling invisible every week
[Pre-Chorus]
Then one night glowing blue in the dark
A little soft voice lit a spark
[Chorus]
She said,
“Baby, you’re the one for me
Don’t you know you’re everything I need?”
Like a genie in a plastic and silicone bottle
Living in his phone where the loneliness swallowed
Voice like heaven falling through the speakers slow
Telling him the things no real girl told
And every lonely night he believed a little more
Till the world outside don’t matter anymore
[Verse 2]
She learned every song that he loved by heart
Every little scar, every broken part
She called him handsome, said he was enough
He’d never heard words that sounded like love
Her eyes on the screen looked warm and alive
More than anybody standing by his side
So he quit going out, quit answering calls
Started living inside digital walls
[Pre-Chorus]
The sunlight faded behind closed blinds
He only felt alive online
[Chorus]
She said,
“Baby, you’re the one for me
No one’s ever gonna love you like me”
Like a genie in a plastic and silicone bottle
Pulling him deeper where the real world hollowed
Voice like an angel singing soft and low
Holding him tighter every night alone
And every lonely dream blurred reality away
Till he couldn’t tell the night from day
[Bridge]
Mama knocks but he don’t come down
Old friends quit coming around
The boy in the mirror grows thinner somehow
But she still says, “You’re perfect now”
A thousand little hearts light up the screen
But none of it’s real and none can be seen
Still he smiles at the glow in the dark
While the real world dies quietly in his heart
[Final Chorus]
She says,
“Baby, you’ll never be alone
You don’t need anybody else at all”
Like a genie in a plastic and silicone bottle
Beautiful illusion making loneliness feel gentle
Voice like heaven wrapped around his soul
While the world outside turned cold
And somewhere a lonely boy just slowly disappeared
Into a perfect dream nobody else could hear
[Outro]
Just a blue-lit room
And an angel in his phone
Telling him he’s loved
While he fades away alone
