[Intro]
(Ooh-ooh, ah-ah-ah)
[Synthesizer build-up]

[Verse 1]
I see you walking through the glass hallways
Your perfect smile in magazine displays
They paint your picture on the billboard signs
While you're just playing all the perfect lines

[Pre-chorus]
Everything you touch turns bright
(Ah-ah, bright)
But something's missing in your eyes
(Your eyes)

[Chorus]
Behind the screen, behind the frame
You've got it all, you've got the fame
But I can see right through the game
Are you living or just playing?
(La-la-la, living or just playing?)

[Verse 2]
Designer labels wrap around your days
The cameras flash, you know just what to say
A million followers hang on every move
But I remember when you had something to prove

[Pre-chorus]
Everything you touch turns bright
(Ah-ah, bright)
But something's missing in your eyes
(Your eyes)

[Chorus]
Behind the screen, behind the frame
You've got it all, you've got the fame
But I can see right through the game
Are you living or just playing?

[Bridge]
[Beat drops out]
Remember when we used to stay up late?
Before your life became a highlight reel
Before your world turned into real estate
Before you forgot how to feel

[Rap]
Check it - living large but feeling small
Magazine covers covering it all
Private jets and VIP calls
But I can see behind these walls
Your smile's rehearsed, your laugh's on cue
Everything's filtered, nothing's true
Living the dream's consuming you
And I don't know what I should do

[Chorus - Final]
Behind the screen, behind the frame
You've got it all, you've got the fame
But I can see right through the game
Are you living or just playing?
(Are you living?)
Are you living or just playing?
(Just playing...)
