Lyrics

VERSE 1
Your smile was perfect in the frame
But cried the second no one came
You posted joy, you tagged it “blessed”
While loneliness curled in your chest

Real life was quiet, slow, and flawed
But online you became a god
They clapped for you, for something fake
And you forgot how much hearts ache

PRE-CHORUS
We measure love in comment lines
But never hear the warning signs
We say “I’m fine,” we post our eyes—
A thousand likes... a thousand lies

CHORUS
This is real life versus social lies
Behind the screens where silence hides
We're craving touch, we’re chasing “seen”
But real connection’s gone unseen

So take me raw, no filters on
No metrics here—just being strong
We’re not our stories, not our feeds
We’re voices aching to be freed

VERSE 2
We pose in pain, we brand our fears
Our heartbreak’s staged in selfie tears
We beg for truth in silent scrolls
But rarely ask what makes us whole

I’d rather be ignored than fake
I’d rather lose than post to break
So if you see me, see it all—
The rise, the bruise, the honest fall

CHORUS (repeat with more emotion)
This is real life versus social lies…

BRIDGE (spoken, fading under chords)
Maybe we forgot how to be real
Or maybe… this is just us, trying to feel
But I still believe—we *can* unplug
Not from tech… from pretending we’re enough

FINAL CHORUS (soft, stripped)
This is real life. Not staged or glossed.
And if you’re broken... you’re not lost.
Let’s build again beyond the screen—
You and me. Unsold. Unseen.
