Lyrics
Everyone’s buying houses
And I still live in that one-bedroom
Couple kids, wedding dresses
Living the dream I’ll never get to
Filtered pictures, smoke and mirrors
They have everything I don’t
Better bodies, lesser worries
Yeah every time I say I won’t
I say she’s prettier
Her life seems dreamier
And it kinda makes me wanna throw my phone
It kills my self-esteem
Means way too much to me
To be the girl that I want them all to know
But how I really feel won’t make the highlight reel
’Cause if I’m honest even I’m a scam
On Instagram
Posting pictures of me smiling
When that one guy broke my heart
Videos of me singing
When I was singing to an empty bar
Bathroom crying, fake friends lying
But I still follow anyway, go on with my day
And say she’s prettier
Her life seems dreamier
And it kinda makes me wanna throw my phone
It kills my self-esteem
Means way too much to me
To be the girl that I want them all to know
But how I really feel won’t make the highlight reel
’Cause if I’m honest even I’m a scam
On Instagram
These days we all need validation
But we can’t reach the expectations
’Cause she’s way prettier
Her life seems dreamier
Yeah I tried but I just can’t put down my phone
It kills my self-esteem
Means way too much to me
To be the girl that I want them all to know
But how I really feel won’t make the highlight reel
’Cause if I’m honest even I’m a scam
On Instagram
