Chasing Perfection (Losing Me)

[Verse 1] Front camera glow in a dark room light Learning who I am through a highlight life Didn’t hate my face till I learned to compare Now I see “perfect” every time I stare Zoom in close, fix every flaw Erase what’s real for what they applaud Used to laugh without a second thought Now I measure smiles by the likes I got ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] If I change it just a little, would they stay? If I smooth it out, does that make me okay? ⸻ [Chorus — Hook] I don’t recognize my reflection Is it me or just projection? Every like feels like direction Tell me who I’m supposed to be I keep chasing their perfection Losing pieces in correction Built a life on their attention But it’s never really me ⸻ [Verse 2] She learned fast what gets attention Less truth, more tension in the mention They don’t hear her, they just watch Turn a girl into a number for a spot Comments say she’s finally worth it Only when she stays on surface Angles right, keep it tight Trade herself for validation every night Now I’m looking at her like I know that face But I don’t feel her in this place ⸻ [Pre-Chorus] If I turn it off, do I disappear? If no one’s watching, am I even here? ⸻ [Chorus — Hook] I don’t recognize my reflection Is it me or just projection? Every like feels like direction Tell me who I’m supposed to be I keep chasing their perfection Losing pieces in correction Built a life on their attention But it’s never really me ⸻ [Bridge] I built a girl they all adore But I don’t know me anymore If I break this glass I’m hiding in Would I finally see my skin? ⸻ [Final Chorus] I don’t recognize my reflection But I see through the deception Every like was misdirection Pulling me away from me I was chasing their perfection Now I’m done with their correction I won’t live for their attention I’m just learning how to be
