Verse 1
Woke up to a thousand smiling faces
Everybody winning in their own highlight reels
Perfect angles, borrowed patience
Selling dreams nobody really feels
I scroll past lives I don’t belong in
Counting hearts like they pay the rent
If happiness is measured in a moment
Why do I feel more broken than I’ll admit?
Pre-Chorus
We’re all pretending we’re okay
Hiding bruises with a filter frame
Chorus
Everybody looks alive online
But I’m barely breathing in real time
All these likes don’t hold me when I fall
I’m loud on screens, but I feel so small
If this is living, I’m doing it wrong
Smiling wide while my peace is gone
Tell me I’m not the only one
Who feels more human when the phone is off
Verse 2
They say “stay strong,” but they don’t listen
They double-tap and keep moving on
I post pain dressed up as wisdom
So nobody asks what’s really wrong
I chase approval like it’s oxygen
But it never fills my chest
I got followers who don’t know me
And friends I barely ever text
Pre-Chorus
We’re all screaming silently
Dying for someone to see
Chorus
Everybody looks alive online
But I’m barely breathing in real time
All these likes don’t hold me when I fall
I’m loud on screens, but I feel so small
If this is living, I’m doing it wrong
Smiling wide while my peace is gone
Tell me I’m not the only one
Who feels more human when the phone is off
Bridge (Breakdown → Build)
What if I disappear for a while?
No posts, no proof, no fake-ass smiles
Would anyone notice the change?
Or just miss the picture, not the pain
I don’t need to trend, I need to heal
I don’t need views, I need something real
Final Chorus (Bigger, Lifted)
Everybody looks alive online
But we’re all surviving one lie at a time
All this noise can’t save us when we fall
We’re more than pixels on a wall
If this is living, I’ll do it my way
Trade the spotlight for a real heartbeat
Maybe I’m not the only one
Who finds themselves when the phone is off
Outro
So here’s me, unfiltered, finally free
Offline is where I remember me
