Social Media Generation - Grace Calver

I see you scrolling, and yeah I’m hating
Do your followers even know we’re dating?
Hair and makeup, looking so fine
Still won’t make it to your timeline

Why won’t you show me off and let me have the glory?
When we go out why won’t you post me on your story?

We’re all looking for some validation
A social media generation
All I need is a tag and a mention
But you say I’m just craving attention
You still follow too many exes
So they keep coming up on my suggested
There’s so much manipulation 
From this social media generation

Maybe I should grow up, it doesn’t mean your love isn’t real
Don’t need a selfie to show the world the way you feel
It’s our lives and we should live them
But I can’t escape the algorithm

Why won’t you show me off and let me have the glory?
When we go out why won’t you post me on your story?

Social media is fake
People only post the good times
But I wanna post my good times too!

Couples posts, days out and date nights
A declaration of love
Everyone else does, why can’t you?
Why can’t you?

We’re all looking for some validation
