No it won't change

It will always be the same

Keep driving me insane

Oh oh

I lost my baby

But the show must go on right?

No if ands or maybe

Can I cry for just one night?

I'm standing here naked

But I chose the spotlight

Sometimes I hate it

Sometimes it feels nice

Am I addicted to the honey?

They find me pretty when it's ugly

Yeah

They either hate me or they love me

So scary being honest

Tell 'em all tell 'em nothing

Keep it real or keep it funny

It ain't for gossip or for money

But I be speaking up for something

Why put it on the internet?

Whole life is online

No secrets

How I always get so intimate

Keep speaking my mind

No secrets

Back and forth I'm like "Who cares?"

Back and forth I'm like "I do I share"

Whole life is online

In my house hiding

Trying protect my love life

They don't see me when I'm crying

Your back and forth out the door like it's alright

I wanna shout it from the rooftops

I'm his girl look what I got

People slide in and take shots

Damn it's a lot

Am I addicted to the honey?

They find me pretty when it's ugly

They either hate me or they love me

So scary being honest

Tell 'em all tell 'em nothing

Keep it real or keep it funny

It ain't for gossip or for money

But I be speaking up for something

Yeah

Why put it on the internet?

Whole life is online

No secrets

How I always get so intimate

Keep speaking my mind

No secrets

Back and forth I'm like "Who cares?"

Back and forth I'm like "I do I share"

Whole life is online

No it won't change

It will always be the same

Keep driving me insane

Oh oh

Yeah
