Where heartbreak is magnified
With jealousy behind those eyes
And maybe shame that you just gotta hide
Games of comparison
And playing with your temptation
You carry shame that you just wanna hide
With no way to live up to the standard
That picture perfect life that you remember
Don’t you forget that you are body, mind, and soul
I see you looking in the mirror
Don’t believe it take off the filter
Just be real and true and let the light on in
We’re not perfect and that’s fine
But should you flaunt yourself online?
Confidence is key but is that right?
It’s okay to be different
Hold tight and don’t give in
They’re all fighting for your attention
With no way to live up to the standard
That picture perfect life that you remember
Don’t you forget that you are body, mind, and soul
I see you looking in the mirror
Don’t believe it take off the filter
Just be real and true and let the light on in
In the digital age
It feels real hard to gauge
Who’s genuine and who’s pretending
In the digital age
There’s no way to escape it
So shield your heart and guard your eyes now
Addiction is glorified
And we’re all desensitized
So it’s hard to find a compromise
Feels like you can’t escape
Even when you’re not afraid
The other guy comes knocking on your door
I know you’re genuine
But sometimes you just can’t win
So keep your head up and look to the Son
It’s easier to waste a day distracted
Than to admit that you overreacted
Don’t you believe that there’s no way to come back, kid
With no way to live up to the standard
That picture perfect life that you remember
Don’t you forget that you are body, mind, and soul
I see you looking in the mirror
Don’t believe it take off the filter
Just be real and true and let the light on in
