Lyrics
I really hate talking bout my feelings
But I’m having so many lately
That I just can’t ignore
And it’s so annoying
Cause everyone expects me
To have it all together, don’t we?
Can’t take the pressure anymore
There’s barbed wire round my heart
Smiling cause I’m guarded
Can’t let anyone in
Cause they just don’t understand
Can’t a girl be sad sometimes
Can’t a girl be mad sometimes
On the gram everything is sunshine
Perfection looks amazing but it’s not real life
I just hold back sometimes
Can’t let ‘em see the tears I cry
But there’s beauty in my dark side
Perfection looks amazing but it’s not real life
Real life
Real life
I’m smizing
Take my picture, good lighting
Though inside me I’m fighting, fighting
With the movies in my head
Yeah I’d be lying
If I said that I’m fine
And everything is just good times all the time
But that’s not always how it is
There’s barbed wire round my heart
Smiling cause I’m guarded
Can’t let anyone in
Cause they just don’t understand
Can’t a girl be sad sometimes
Can’t a girl be mad sometimes
On the gram everything is sunshine
Perfection looks amazing but it’s not real life
I just hold back sometimes
Can’t let ‘em see the tears I cry
But there’s beauty in my dark side
Perfection looks amazing but it’s not real life
Real life
Real life
Where can I go where it’s safe to open up?
Who can I turn to? Don’t know who to trust
Everybody thinks they know
But I never show ‘em
My real life
My real life
Where can I go where it’s safe to open up?
Who can I turn to? Don’t know who to trust
Everybody thinks they know
But I never show ‘em
My real life
My real life
Can’t a girl be sad sometimes
Can’t a girl be mad sometimes
On the gram everything is sunshine
Perfection looks amazing but it’s not real life
I just hold back sometimes
Can’t let ‘em see the tears I cry
But there’s beauty in my dark side
Perfection looks amazing but it’s not real life
Real life
Real life
Perfection looks amazing but it’s not real life
