internet love

(The screen hurts my eyes)
It all started online
One rainy night
Swiped left, swiped right
The screen hurts my eyes
You saw me, I saw you
Thought it'd be a match
You followed me back
If you want me, say you want me
Don't play these games
Leaving likes on my page
Don't be so vague
I put my best face forward for you
Carefully curated myself to seem cool
Did I capture your attention?
I'm craving your affection
But I'm lucky if I even see you
Text and call every night
Haven't seen you in real life
Oh God, I'm tired
Internet, internet love
Internet, internet love
Internet, internet love
This isn't how I want it to be
Wanna be at a cafe and spill my coffee
All over your new tee shirt, but you don't care
It feels as if the universe placed us here
Where's the romance?
Where's the slow dance?
Gliding 'cross the floor
Feels like we don't know how to talk anymore
Give me something real, not 2D
Something tangible
I put my best face forward for you
Carefully curated myself to seem cool
Did I capture your attention?
I'm craving your affection
But I'm lucky if I even see you
Text and call every night
Checking if you're online
Oh God, I'm tired
Internet, internet love
Internet, internet love
Internet, internet love
Everyone's so fake, fake, fake
Sit this one out, need a break
Letting my guard down is not safe
I'd rather be lonely
Need someone who can hold it down
Someone with their feet on the ground
So my head can be up in the clouds
He looked so good on the screen
But he couldn't handle me
Only liked what he saw in pixels
It's easier to judge by the cover
Don't want another online lover
I put my best face forward for you
Carefully curated myself to seem cool
Internet, internet love (so tired of it)
Internet, internet love (love)
Internet, internet love
(Internet, internet love)
(Internet, internet love)
(Internet, internet love)
