The Highlights - Desi Valentine

The first thing that you wake up and see

Is the light on the screen, the reflection you see

It is only perception, the idea of perfection

You’ve been chasing the dream, the surface of sleeps

As you’re counting the strings, you believe

In the art of deception, got you craving that attention

People don’t show you the truth of their fear

The lies, the likes they’re holding dear, they’re holding dear

They’re picture perfect, so they appear

But we’re never seeing the cyber tears, the cyber tears

Not the real life, show 'em only highlights

Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like

Your life seems to glow but you only show

Just the highlights, the highlights

The highlights

The highlights

You are stuck in the blue, and you’re so far removed

In the proof that you choose, you’re abusing

It ain’t getting clearer, it’s only smoke and mirrors

I never show you my truth of my fear

The lies, the likes I’m holding dear, I’m holding dear

I’m picture perfect, so I appear

But you’ve never seen my cyber tears, my cyber tears

Not the real life show, I’m only highlights

Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like

Your life seems to glow but you only show

Just the highlights, the highlights

Not the real life show, I’m only highlights

Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like

Your life seems to glow but you only show

Just the highlights, the highlights

The highlights (The highlights)

The highlights

The highlights

The highlights (The highlights)

Not the real life show, I’m only highlights

Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like

Your life seems to glow but you only show

Just the highlights

Not the real life show, I’m only highlights

Tell 'em what to be like, never what you feel like

Your life seems to glow but you only show

Just the highlights, the highlights

Not the real life

Not the real life

Your life seems to glow but you only show

Just the highlights, the highlights

The highlights
