Lyric

Phone on my chest at 3 a.m

Thumb keeps moving, head stays tense

Everybody looks so sure online

I learn new ways to fake I’m fine

Post one line, then check it twice

Cut the truth down, make it nice

Make it easy, make it clean

Hide the part that feels unseen

If I say I’m tired, will they scroll away

If I say I’m scared, will they call me strange

So I keep my teeth out for the frame

And let that picture take the blame

Pinned smile, stuck in place

Good kid on a glowing page

Heart race under calm replies

No one hears it through the vibe

Pinned smile, all day long

Laughing hard in every song

If I crack, don’t let it show

That’s the only rule I know

Group chat jumps, I lose my nerve

Type three words, then I erase first

In my head I sound so clear

In the room I disappear

I know every joke, every trend

How to look okay again

But nobody posts the part

Where being seen still hurts your heart

If I miss one beat, I feel out of place

If I slow it down, I fall behind pace

So I play the role they came to see

And keep the ache off camera feed

Pinned smile, stuck in place

Good kid on a glowing page

Heart race under calm replies

No one hears it through the vibe

Pinned smile, all day long

Laughing hard in every song

If I crack, don’t let it show

That’s the only rule I know

Tell me I don’t need to win today

Tell me I can leave some words unsaid

Tell me being tired is not a flaw

Tell me I am more than what they saw

Tell me I can sit here, breathe a bit

Tell me I don’t have to turn pain slick

Tell me I can be a little lost

And still be worth the air I draw

Pinned smile, coming loose

Maybe that’s the honest truth

Maybe I am not too much

Maybe I just need more touch

Pinned smile, falling slow

There’s a kid beneath the show

If you see him, let him stay

He’s been hiding every day

No big speech, no clean goodbye

Just one real breath this time

Pinned smile, let it slip

I’m still here, that’s it
