Behind the Scenes

Looking in her dresser, all she feels is pressure
She don't wanna ever be considered as a lesser
So she let it stress her, and she let it fester
But I bet 100 dollars if you try to text her
She gon' tell you "Everything is good", she great (great)
Wanna have a date, she gon' meet you at eight (eight)
Always on time, no, she never make you wait (wait)
A personality that nobody could hate (hate)
So she puts a front on for everyone that she meets
Taking photos of some food that she won't even eat
Because you gotta stay thin
And honestly, that's how Instagram works, everybody's gonna weigh in
She gotta have a edge but she can't be rude
Show off that body but she can't be nude
A little bit submissive but she won't be rude
And if you looked into her eyes, you would probably be fooled

When she's up (she's down)
She's lost (she's found)
Away, you'll never see it
When she says (she's good)
Wish you (understood)
She don't really mean it
Wouldn't know (she's scarred)
Life is so (damn hard)
But she makes it look easy, yeah
No matter how it all might seem
We never go behind the scenes, no

Make you think her life is better
Better like it's all a dream
But we never, ever, ever
Ever go behind the scenes
Make you think her life is better
Better like it's all a dream
But we never, ever, ever
Ever go behind the scenes

They think her life's a perfect picture, happiness picks her
They don't understand she need the answer like a sixer
Depression is a fixture so she got this mixture
And I know as soon as it hits her
She's gonna drop right down to the floor (floor)
She don't wanna feel that pain no more (no more)
She don't wanna act like it's alright
Nothin' worse than when you gotta hide in plain sight
Yo, but mistakes in the past, oh, no, you can't erase it
The face on your mask, you know you gotta face it
And one life to live so don't you go and waste it
Your so-called imperfections, why don't you embrace it?
Now she needs a shoulder and somebody that will hold her
'Cause she's only gettin' older and the world is getting colder
Pain is heavy like a boulder, get the dream that they have sold her
She's good enough but no one ever told her

When she's up (she's down)
She's lost (she's found)
Away, you'll never see it
When she says (she's good)
Wish you (understood)
She don't really mean it
Wouldn't know (she's scarred)
Life is so (damn hard)
But she makes it look easy, yeah
No matter how it all might seem
We never go behind the scenes, no

Make you think her life is better
Better like it's all a dream
But we never, ever, ever
Ever go behind the scenes
Make you think her life is better
Better like it's all a dream
But we never, ever, ever
Ever go behind the scenes
