Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm still smoking 'cause I read somewhere
If I quit before I'm 26
I'll be fine, so I'm lyin' to myself
While I light another cigarette
I'm addicted to my phone
Gettin' anxious every time that it's out of reach
I lie awake, screen right up in my face
And I wonder why I can't sleep
[Verse 2]
Oh, can you see the irony?
Oh, can you see the irony?
[Verse 3]
I saw these awful things in a documentary
Decided I would stop eating meat
To save the planet till I was like, damnit
I didn't even last a week
So pretty perfect on the surface
But the truth is I don't wanna be that guy
But I got a script, better stick to it
My label's tellin' me I gotta lie
[Verse 4]
Oh, can you see the irony?
Oh, can you see the irony?
And nobody's perfect under the surface
They'll never see that side of me
Oh, can you see the irony?
[Verse 5]
I just got a new tattoo, I'm embarrassed
'Cause I didn't even tell my own mom
So every time I'm home visitin' my parents
I always keep my sweater on
I don't care if it's the truth or not
All I care about is gettin' likes
Readin' the comments like everybody's honest
When they cheerin' for my fake life
[Verse 6]
Oh, can you see the irony?
Oh, can you see the irony?
And nobody's perfect under the surface
They'll never see that side of me
Oh, can you see the irony?
[Verse 7]
'Cause I'm only human after all
Put a filter on and make it look natural
'Cause I'm only human after all
Put a filter on and make it look natural
Can you see the irony?
Oh, can you see the irony?
[Verse 8]
Oh, can you see the irony?
Oh, can you see the irony?
And nobody's perfect under the surface
But everybody's tryna be
Can't you see the irony?
[Verse 9]
Oh, can you see the irony?
