[Lyric] Real Life (Asia Monet)

I really hate talkin' bout' my feelings
But I'm having so many lately that I just can't ignore
And it's so annoying cuz everyone expects me
To have it all together, don't need, can't take the pressure anymore

This barbed wire on my heart, smiling cuz I'm guarded
Can't let anyone in cuz they just don't understand

Can I go be sad sometimes?
Can I go be mad sometimes?
On the gram, everything is sunshine
Perfection looks amazing but it's not real life
I just hold back sometimes
Can't let em' see the tears I cry
But there's beauty in my dark side
Perfection looks amazing but it's not real life
(Real life, Real life) (Perfection looks amazing)

I'm smizing, take my picture, good lighting
Though inside me, I'm fighting, fighting, with the movies in my head
Yeah, I'd be lyin' if I said I was fine and
Everything is just good times all the time but that's not always how it is
This barbed wire on my heart, smiling cuz I'm guarded
Can't let anyone in cuz they just don't understand

Can I go be sad sometimes?
Can I go be mad sometimes?
On the gram, everything is sunshine
Perfection looks amazing but it's not real life
I just hold back sometimes
Can't let em' see the tears I cry
But there's beauty in my dark side
Perfection looks amazing but it's not real life
(Real life, Real life) Real-life, oh

Where can I go where it's safe to open up?
Who can I talk to? Don't know who to trust
Everybody thinks they know but I'm never showing my real life
My real life
Where can I go where it's safe to open up?
Who can I turn to? Don't know who to trust
Everybody thinks they know but I never show them my real life
My real life

Can I go be sad sometimes?
Can I go be mad sometimes?
On the gram, everything is sunshine
Perfection looks amazing but it's not real life
I just hold back sometimes
Can't let em' see the tears I cry
But there's beauty in my dark side
Perfection looks amazing but it's not real life
(Real life) Ooh (Real life) Real life
Perfection looks amazing but it's not real life (Real life)
