A PICTURE, A PROFILE

about

The person I was dating broke me down and I had no self-confidence but I wanted to move on and quickly. Following the "breakup", I decided to venture back into online dating. Which proved to be rather disastrous and depressing. I was looking for an escape, something to give me faith in humanity again. They all wanted to fuck. Back to square one.

lyrics

I’m just a picture
a profile
perfect lighting and filters
egotistical captions, middle fingers crying laughing emojis
so no, I won’t feel a way when you ignore my text
but you’re in another man’s lap on social media
flaunting it
reminding me that I’m just a picture
a profile
substance thousands of miles away
hoping to call your heart a home one day
but there are too many other options in my way
how do I stand out from the herd
without throwing a tantrum and growing perturbed
it just might be the centaur in me
I don’t think people understand
how easy it is to communicate what you want and don’t want in a man
but people like to make shit complicated
turn into fanfare
I gotta stop giving my heart away so easily
to anyone who even cares to share
a moment to briefly gaze into my soul and see the beauty
all they seem to see are the broken branches and the foundation uprooting
I’m just a picture
a profile
0.03 miles away
hey, what you doin?
private pictures unlocked
you must be horny cuz you didn’t even bother to stop
and ask me my interests, my goals in life, my real first and last name
I’m a bit too tired to play this game
