gold plated

Baby, you're gold-plated
But on the inside
Cold and anxious
And maybe I'm wrong
For thinking you're honest with yourself

But I think you and me are soul chasin'
Having everything's overrated
So I sing songs
You dance along
Until we melt

Feel like you're shiny on the outside
The inside is different
'Cause you're afraid of showin' people everything you're missin'
You put on a show
It only works for a minute

When you post on the 'gram
You follow numbers like religion
That affects the way you're livin'
You ain't meant to see these things
They put you in a mental prison
You want the fancy things
The shiny rings on television

If you follow me, I'll show you everything you're missin'
Oh, if you follow me, I'll show you everything

You're gold-plated
But on the inside
Cold and anxious
And maybe I'm wrong
For thinking you're honest with yourself

But I think you and me are soul chasin'
Having everything's overrated
So I sing songs
You dance along
Until we melt

I know the pressure gettin' deep
I can see it in your face
Forced to crack a smile
I can tell you're 'bout to break
Obsessing online
Puttin' everything in place
Didn't know the whole time
Your real life would go to waste
Just for pictures on a page

They say life is what you make it, huh
The life you want instead
Is full of fakes and lust
Jealousy don't help for much
But if you follow me
I'll show you everything like it's

Gold-plated
But on the inside
Cold and anxious
And maybe I'm wrong
For thinking you're honest with yourself

But I think you and me are soul chasin'
Having everything's overrated
So I sing songs
You dance along
Until we melt
