Verse 1:
Baby you don't have to
Show me your green
I don't need to see that you're
In a big magazine, yeah
Don't need to see
All those pics on my screen
Looking so fake to me
All those edits you don't need, yeah
You always roll your eyes
When you're getting criticized
By the boys that made you cry
Never gonna realize, yeah
Pre-Chorus
Why must you act so shallow?
Why must you act so superficial?
Why can't you be yourself today?
Baby Tell Me
Chorus:
Why can't you see
You can be yourself around me
Stop the make believe
You will see what we could be
What we-we-we could be
What we-we-we could be yeah
Verse 2:
Looking in the mirror
Seeing a little bit clearer
That beauty much purer
With no filters taking over her
How do you have the nerve?
Buying Fake Followers
What is all this for?
You know this ain't you no more
Hope that you understand
Before our chance is dead
Want your sweet love instead
Intentions you misread
Chorus:
Why can't you see
You can be yourself around me
Stop the make believe
You will see what we could be
What we-we-we could be
What we-we-we could be yeah
Bridge:
I'm running out of time for your games
We will never be the same, never be the same, no
We can save this baby if we try
Won't let it die, won't let it die, No-oh-oh
Chorus:
Why can't you see
You can be yourself around me
Stop the make believe
You will see what we could be
What we-we-we could be
What we-we-we could be yeah
Why can't you see
You can be yourself around me
Stop the make believe
You will see what we could be
What we-we-we could be
What we-we-we could be yeah
