lyrics

you think you really know me so well
but you only see pieces of me
from random little snapshots
from what I choose to share publicly

almost everyone is on it
it's a way to keep in touch with our friends
but it's hard to interpret
this battlefield of social trends

you try to be inspiring
(or bragging and obnoxious)
genuine and honest
(or ungrateful and rude)
on social media
does everyone lose?

we spread our own gossip
(our little media circus)
starting little rumours
(breaking our own news)
a picture says a thousand words
but not always what's true

don't judge me by your assumptions
and I'll forget about your self-serving quips
when we aim to be offended
peace isn't at our fingertips

without human interaction
how can we really tell what we all mean
behind the walls and timelines
everyone remains unseen

we're positive and uplifting
(or bragging and obnoxious)
we're genuine and honest
(or ungrateful and rude)
on social media
what will everyone lose?

and everyone is jealous
(the grass is always greener)
'cuz everyone's living the perfect life
(in someone else's dream)
a picture says a thousand words
they're not always what they seem

of course you're gonna fall apart
when you compare their highs with your lows
one person's mediocre pace
is someone else's lifetime goal

(lalalalalala)

on social media
does everyone lose?
on social media
what will everyone lose?
