Isolation (Expectations)

I have all these expectations of who I'm supposed to be What I've wanted to be But it only gives me anxiety We've got an unhealthy obsession with social media Getting drunk on each other's thoughts And high off of each other's expectations Constantly chasing perfection I wanted this life to be perfect Is it really worth it? Is it really worth it? A blessed, stressed mess The press made me want it less Because it made me comfortable Till I wasn't comfortable in my own skin Even if I don't make a million dollars Or influence a generation of followers We're all alive under the same stars So love everyone, even when you don't love yourself We've got an unhealthy obsession with social media Getting drunk on each other's thoughts And high off of each other's expectations Constantly chasing perfection We want our bodies to be perfect Is it really worth it? Is it really worth it? How many times do I have to improve? Before I'm able to let myself live outside of a screen Scrolling my way through love and life Till all that's left is heartache and headaches Even if the oxygen doesn't hit my lungs Or the stress makes it feel like it never does We rely on ourselves to make our own happiness So find happiness within, and be kind to your fellow humans We've got an unhealthy obsession with social media Getting drunk on each other's thoughts And high off of each other's expectations Constantly chasing perfection I wanted this song to be perfect Is it really worth it? Is it really worth it? When I didn't meet my own timelines and expectations I felt like I was dying every day Until I almost pushed myself off the edge I want to live to be extraordinary But maybe being ordinary isn't so bad after all When this is all over, I'm throwing out my phone and starting over in the real world
