[English]

WANT A DIGITAL FANTASY

YOU DON’T EVEN WANT THE REAL ME

SAY IT HONESTLY

YOU DON’T WANT REAL LOVE

BABY YOU JUST WANT MY LIGHT

MAYBE YOU’RE JUST A PARASITE

SAY YOU FORGOT TO REPLY

EVEN THOUGH I ALWAYS SEE YOU’RE ONLINE

YOU JUST WANNA BE INSIDE MY WORLD

IT WOULD TAKE A LOT TO BE YOUR GIRL

YOU JUST WANNA LIKE MY PHOTOGRAPHS

AS IF I’M EVER GONNA TAKE YOU BACK

YOU’RE LAZY, LAZY

I WAS SO LOVE-STRUCK BUT YOU

WANT A DIGITAL FANTASY

YOU DON’T EVEN WANT THE REAL ME

SAY IT HONESTLY

YOU DON’T WANT REAL LOVE

WANT A DIGITAL FANTASY

I WOULD RATHER REALITY

SAD CAUSE HONESTLY

I JUST WANT YOUR LOVE

THOUGHT YOU WERE A HOPELESS ROMANTIC

TURNS OUT YOU MIGHT BE A LITTLE SELFISH

NEVER KNEW YOU BUT I’LL MISS YOU ANYWAY

LONGER THAN I KNEW YOU

IT’S THE MODERN WAY, MODERN WAY

I JUST WANNA BE INSIDE YOUR WORLD

BUT IT WOULD TAKE A LOT TO BE YOUR GIRL

EVERYTHING I DID TO CALM YOUR FEARS

AND ALL YOU EVER DID WAS BRING ME TEARS

YOU’RE CRAZY, CRAZY

I WAS SO LOVE-STRUCK BUT YOU

WANT A DIGITAL FANTASY

YOU DON’T EVEN WANT THE REAL ME

SAY IT HONESTLY

YOU DON’T WANT REAL LOVE

WANT A DIGITAL FANTASY

I WOULD RATHER REALITY

SAD CAUSE HONESTLY

I JUST WANT YOUR LOVE

YOU’RE NEVER GONNA BE

WITH A GIRL LIKE ME

YOU WENT AND BLEW IT

YOU’RE NEVER GONNA FEEL

ANYTHING THAT’S REAL

YOU KNOW WHAT THE TRUTH IS

WANT A DIGITAL FANTASY

YOU DON’T EVEN WANT THE REAL ME

SAY IT HONESTLY

YOU DON’T WANT REAL LOVE

WANT A DIGITAL FANTASY

YOU DON’T WANT A REAL HUMAN BEING

SAD CAUSE HONESTLY

I JUST WANT YOUR LOVE

YOU DON’T WANT REAL LOVE
