[Intro]
Notifications light up but I'm feeling dark inside
These screens can't show what's really on my mind
[Verse 1]
Posted up, looking fresh, but I'm barely alive
Million likes can't fix what's broken inside
Layla's posts got me feeling some type of way
While I'm crafting this image day after day
They want the show, but they don't know the cost
Of being real when your soul's getting lost
[Chorus]
Offline where the real pain lives
Behind these filters, that's where truth is
Offline where the real pain lives
Can't post about what really moves me
Yeah, I said offline where the real pain lives
These likes ain't healing what's inside of me
[Verse 2]
Family calling, asking "Why you changed?"
While I'm busy keeping up this f*cking game
Screenshots of my heart spread across the web
Private moments turned into daily bread
Layla knows the truth behind these walls
But she's playing games, watching as I fall
Every notification, another piece of me
Sold out to the masses for them all to see
[Bridge]
Delete my posts but can't delete these scars
Living life through screens has pushed us too far
Real love don't hit like virtual hearts
Been so long, I don't know where to start
[Chorus]
Offline where the real pain lives
Behind these filters, that's where truth is
Offline where the real pain lives
Can't post about what really moves me
Yeah, I said offline where the real pain lives
These likes ain't healing what's inside of me
[Outro]
Log me out, shut it down
Let me feel something real right now
No more masks, no more shows
Just the pain that nobody knows
