In the lights we paint a smile Fake a love that's worth a while Truth is hidden all the time Underneath the perfect line Posts and pictures tell a lie Happy faces pass us by Words we say but never mean Living in a shallow dream If only People were as real as they appear to be If only They were in love like they publish If only They were as sincere as they say Sometimes it's not hard to know what's fake and what's real If only People were as real as they appear to be If only They were in love like they publish If only They were as sincere as they say Sometimes it's not hard to know what's fake and what's real (What is fake? What is real?) Oh (What is fake? What is real?) Touch the screen but feel the void Minds destroyed in digital noise Wish we knew what hides inside Behind the masks we cannot hide False joy, empty people Silent cries we cannot hear What if we could share the pain Show the storm inside the rain If only People were as real as they appear to be If only They were in love like they publish If only They were as sincere as they say Sometimes it's not hard to know what's fake and what's real If only People were as real as they appear to be If only They were in love like they publish If only They were as sincere as they say Sometimes it's not hard to know what's fake and what's real (What is fake? What is real?) Oh (What is fake? What is real?) (What is fake? What is real?)
