It's a cold night, the moon so bright,
The screen of her phone lights up her face
"Oh gosh, I look so pretty-what a sight." (I'm so pretty)
She sits, she stands, she poses in her space
Click, click, Snapchat-amazing, just right
"Perfect," she says with a happy face
Click, check filter, tap, tap, send-
Then she scrolls and waits for likes
Then she scrolls and waits for likes
Likes stack everywhere, she smiles
But...
Behind the screen, she cries
Behind the lens, she sighs
Echoes of her pain slowly fly
She fills the room with filtered lies
Click, click-her usual routine
Followers and likes are her dream
Snap, snap-her joyful face on screen
In a digital world, she is a queen
In reality, behind her phone's gleam
She silently screams
Behind all these digital scenes
Just a girl that's broken
Just a girl that's broken
(Hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu hu hu...)
Another day, sunlight on her face
Quickly reaches for her phone as she gets dressed
Counting likes, buttons pressed-
"Oh my God, I'm the prettiest, I'm the best." (I'm so pretty)
Click, she "hearts" all the comments,
"Gurl, you're the cutest."
Tap, tap, she replies to all, trying her best.
Doesn't notice her phone's now wet with tears,
Still she wonders, "How many more likes will appear?"
(How many more likes will appear?)
Likes stack everywhere, she smiles,
But...
Behind the screen, she cries.
Behind the lens, she sighs.
Echoes of her pain slowly fly,
She fills the room with filtered lies.
Click, click-her usual routine,
Followers and likes are her dream.
Snap, snap-her joyful face on screen,
In a digital world, she is a queen.
In reality, behind her phone's gleam,
She silently screams.
Behind all these digital scenes,
Just a girl that's broken,
Just a girl that's broken.
(Hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu hu hu...)
Likes and followers climb high,
But still she sits and wonders why.
"Why do I feel empty inside?" she cries.
In a pixel world, she's got that smile,
Nobody knows how hard she tries.
Underneath her mask,
Behind her disguise-
She's just another broken girl (All lies),
Just another sad girl (She lies...)
... Nobody knows... Nobody knows...
...Nobody...
I'm just a sad, sad girl that cries.
I'm just a girl that hides behind my smile.
(...Behind my smile...)
(Hu hu hu... hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu... hu hu...)
Hmmm ooh...
Click, click... here I go again,
Followers and likes are my dream.
Snap, snap... my joyful face on screen,
In a digital world, I am a queen.
In reality, behind my phone's gleam,
I silently scream (Aaaahhh...)
Behind all these digital scenes,
I'm just a girl that's broken,
I'm just a girl that's broken.
(I'm broken...)
(Hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu...)
(Hu hu hu hu hu...)
