Don’t Look Away
[Verse 1]
Everybodies guilty tryna sell you a lie
Ive been buying yours and youve been buying mine
Cause up until now all we know of you or me
Is what we want the other to see
[Pre-Chorus]
Even at my worst
It's all been well rehearsed
Doctored up, filtered out
Just the best is allowed
Make it pop a little more
Now its ready for the worl
[Chorus]
Don't look away, don't close the page
Don't act like you don't do the same thing too
It's me, it's you but not the truth
Don't act like you don't do the same thing too
'Cause you do
[Verse 2]
If we ever meet we're both in for a surprise
The person that we see won't match the ones in our minds
Without that effect what you see's not what you get
So back behind the lens and I'll adjust on the fly
[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone can see (We're all fake, insecure)
Everyone but me (It's attentional play)
Oh my God, even more in my own little world
See this look on my face?
This is how I woke today
[Chorus]
Don't look away, don't close the page
Don't act like you don't do the same thing too
It's me, it's you but not the truth
Don't act like you don't do the same thing too
It's me, it's you but not the truth
How else was I going to show you?
Everything on the screen
Is just another version of the person that I want you to see
Don't act like you don't do the same thing too
(Just another version of the person that I want you to see)
Nothing's quite as it seems
Nothing's quite as it seems
Just another version of the person that we want you to see
