[Verse 1]
Left, right, left – it’s a goddamn game
Profiles blur, they all look the same
Bio says “dog mom,” he’s “6’2””
But in real life? Nah, that ain’t true
Photoshopped smiles, filters so thick
Selling dreams with a selfie stick
I’m just tryna find something real
But all I get’s a ghost and a mass text spiel
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I ain’t tryna judge, but I’m losing my mind
Everybody’s playing, nobody’s got time
⸻
[Chorus]
I suck at swiping, yeah I do
A thousand matches, none come through
We talk for days, then fade away
Like love’s just content for display
I suck at swiping, guess it’s me
Or maybe it’s a parody
Of hearts for rent and fake connections
Scrollin’ through my own rejection
⸻
[Verse 2]
She’s a “free spirit,” he’s a “CEO”
Funny how broke they are though
Dinner talk feels like an interview
“Where do you see us in a year or two?”
Seen more “Hey”s than a rodeo crowd
More dead convos than I’m allowed
Is it me, or is this whole scene
Just dopamine hits and dopamine dreams?
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m tired of the chase, of curating my life
Just to be left on “read” every night
⸻
[Chorus]
I suck at swiping, yeah I do
A thousand matches, none come through
We talk for days, then fade away
Like love’s just content for display
I suck at swiping, guess it’s me
Or maybe it’s a parody
Of hearts for rent and fake connections
Scrollin’ through my own rejection
⸻
[Bridge]
Remember when we met face to face?
Not through glass and endless swipes
Now it’s all just shallow space
We’re trading souls for shallow likes
⸻
[Breakdown – spoken/half-sung]
“Seen” at 9:03, no reply
Was it something I said? Or am I just dry?
Match made in pixels, lost in translation
The only thing I’m dating is frustration
⸻
[Final Chorus – with variation, fuller Instrumental]
I suck at swiping, can’t deny
I scroll and swipe and still ask why
We ghost, we brag, we overshare
But God forbid we really care
I suck at swiping, maybe you too
We fake the love, but never follow through
If hearts are apps and love’s a screen
Then maybe swiping ain’t my scene
⸻
[Outro – soft acoustic fade]
Left, right, left…
Guess I’m better off on airplane mode
