[Intro] 
 0:00
Verse 1 
 0:14
Scrolling past the filtered smiles, 
 0:14
Vacation pics that hide the miles. 
 0:17
Couples kissing on the beach, 
 0:20
But in their rooms they barely speak. 
 0:24
Kids in posts, but ignored in real life, 
 0:27
Friends in photos, but tension in the night. 
 0:31
Everyone’s happy… until the phone goes down, 
 0:34
Then the cracks appear, but no one frowns. 
 0:37
Chorus 
 0:41
The smiles are fake, the lights are staged, 
 0:41
We’re all just actors on a glowing page. 
 0:44
Perfect lives, perfect love, perfect God, 
 0:48
But no one sees the truth behind the facade. 
 0:52
Likes and captions hide the pain, 
 0:56
Luxury, success, but none of it’s real gain. 
 0:59
We all scroll, we all nod, 
 1:02
Playing along with the reality behind the facade. 
 1:05
Verse 2 
 1:22
Perfect skin, perfect bodies, perfect hair, 
 1:22
Filtered angles pretending someone cares. 
 1:26
“Just discipline,” but it’s shame in disguise, 
 1:29
Scrolling through likes while the real me cries. 
 1:32
“Living my best life,” “healed and aligned,” 
 1:36
Therapy quotes posted, but the pain’s still behind. 
 1:40
We pretend we’re okay, but it’s all staged, 
 1:42
Hiding the chaos behind the perfect page. 
 1:46
Chorus 
 1:50
The smiles are fake, the lights are staged, 
 1:50
We’re all just actors on a glowing page. 
 1:53
Perfect lives, perfect love, perfect God, 
 1:56
But no one sees the truth behind the facade. 
 2:01
Likes and captions hide the pain, 
 2:04
Luxury, success, but none of it’s real gain. 
 2:08
We all scroll, we all nod, 
 2:10
Playing along with the reality behind the facade. 
 2:13
Verse 3 
 2:25
Hustle posts, CEO life, designer shoes, 
 2:25
Debt and lies hidden behind curated views. 
 2:29
Marriage goals, friendship goals, virtue on display, 
 2:32
But behind the camera, we all lose our way. 
 2:35
Preach the gospel, post the quote, 
 2:39
Do the opposite when no one takes note. 
 2:42
We judge, we compare, we all pretend, 
 2:45
Playing this game with no real end. 
 2:49
Chorus 
 2:53
The smiles are fake, the lights are staged, 
 2:53
We’re all just actors on a glowing page. 
 2:56
Perfect lives, perfect love, perfect God, 
 3:00
But no one sees the truth behind the facade. 
 3:04
Likes and captions hide the pain, 
 3:08
Luxury, success, but none of it’s real gain. 
 3:11
We all scroll, we all nod, 
 3:14
Playing along with the reality behind the facade. 
 3:17
Bridge 
 3:24
We all know, we all see it, 
 3:24
Still we play along, don’t admit it. 
 3:27
Everyone’s pretending, but nobody says, 
 3:32
“We’re all lying to survive these days.” 
 3:34
It’s a highlight reel, a staged parade, 
 3:38
Reality hidden behind the masquerade. 
 3:42
Chorus 
 3:48
The smiles are fake, the lights are staged, 
 3:48
We’re all just actors on a glowing page. 
 3:51
Perfect lives, perfect love, perfect God, 
 3:55
But no one sees the truth behind the facade. 
 3:59
Likes and captions hide the pain, 
 4:03
Luxury, success, but none of it’s real gain. 
 4:06
We all scroll, we all nod, 
 4:09
Playing along with the reality behind the fac
