Linhy - Behind the Lens Lyrics

I wake up to a world that's shining bright
Filtered smiles and everything feels right
But behind closed doors the truth's a little more
A heart full of questions I can't ignore
Chasing all the likes chasing all the praise
But it's harder every day to feel the same
I'm told to be flawless to fit in the frame
But I'm just a human not a picture to claim
They won't see the cracks they won't see the tears
But I'm done hiding what I really fear
I'm learning to breathe through the mess I make
It's the real me I've got the courage to embrace
Behind the lens I'm just a mess
But I'm learning to love my flaws the best
Scroll through the highlight reel they'll never see
But the life I curate is still part of me
Oh the life I curate is still part of me
I post the perfect days but hide the rest
The sleepless nights the thoughts I second guess
What's real and what's fake I start to ask
Do they see the girl underneath the mask
I'm dancing on the edge of who I am
Wondering if they'll understand
But the mirror shows a story untold
A soul that's wild imperfect and bold
They won't see the scars they won't see the fight
But I'm done pretending everything's alright
I'm learning to smile through the days I fall
It's the cracks that make me stand tall
Behind the lens I'm just a mess
But I'm learning to love my flaws the best
Scroll through the highlight reel they'll never see
But the life I curate is still part of me
Oh the life I curate is still part of me
Not every picture's perfect not every dream is clear
But I'm learning to be brave learning to be near
To the girl inside with all her scars and dreams
She's the one who's really free
Behind the lens I'm just a mess
But I'm learning to love my flaws the best
Scroll through the highlight reel they'll never see
But the life I curate is still part of me
And the life I curate oh it's all part of me
It's a masterpiece in the mess I see
