POP MUSIC. Song: Perfect By Nature.

All these faces in my feed
Looking perfect, feeling free
But I see through the veneer

You keep asking me to play
This game where we all pretend
But honestly, I'm kinda tired
Of filtering who I am

So tell me, tell me
Are you happy being fake?
So tell me, tell me
What's it gonna take?

You're scrolling through your highlight reel
Acting like it's all so real
But girl, I know you're dying inside
Behind that artificial smile
You post another pretty pic
But can't you see this makes me sick?
'Cause I remember who you were
Before you got so insecure

We used to laugh at all this stuff
Now you can't get enough
Of likes and hearts and fake love
From people you don't even know
You're chasing validation highs
While losing yourself in the lies
I'm watching you just fade away
Into this masquerade you play

You ask me why I seem so mad
When really I'm just feeling sad
'Cause my best friend is disappearing
Into someone I don't recognize
You're editing your soul away
Living for another day
Of pretending you're okay
When clearly you are not

Remember when we used to talk
About our dreams and taking walks?
Now all you do is pose and pout
For an audience that doesn't count
You've become a stranger, babe
Trapped inside this digital cage
And I don't know how to save
The person that you used to be

I see the cracks beneath the paint
You're trying hard but looking faint
These pixels can't contain your heart
So tell me when did we drift apart?
You're beautiful without the filter
Stop letting social media kill ya
'Cause honestly, it's getting realer
How much this world is making you suffer

So here's me being straight with you
Your worth ain't measured by your views
These platforms got you so confused
About what really matters most
I miss the girl who didn't care
About her angles or her hair
Who wasn't scared to just be there
Without performing for a ghost

If you could see what I can see
You'd know you're perfect naturally
But you're too busy trying to be
Someone the internet would love
So I'm just gonna say it loud:
Stop trying to impress the crowd
'Cause girl, you're already enough
Without this artificial stuff
