Behind the Pitures

Behind the pictures you'll find it all

You'll find fear and hurt

We act like everythings perfect,

But behind the picture you'll find it's not.

You see what we want you to

Smiles and happiness,

But behind the picture you'll find it's not.

We add filters and captions to make everything look okay,

But behind the picture you'll find it's not.

Behind the picture is someone broken

Someone who's not perfect and makes mistakes;

You see a perfect situation

But behind the picture you'll find it's not.

If you strip it down to just the basics

Behind the picture you'll find the real me.
