Picture Perfect from Villain by Katie Seto

He sees me three times a week
On a screen
But he believes he knows me
And what I should be
A small peek behind the scenes
Try to be honest
But he’s already got his story

They don’t care, it’s an obsession
Now I’m sharing all their transgressions
What did he just say to me
The audacity

“Your life’s so picture perfect
So who cares what’s beneath the surface
You’re just one dimension
Oh, and did I mention
I can tell that you’ve been lying
‘Cause otherwise you wouldn’t be trying
To have a life
I’m owed more of your time
And explanations why”
Sure. Picture perfect life

He sees me living it up
It must be so glamorous
It’s easy living their dream
Ignore all the pain that I feel
If he can’t see, it isn’t real
I’m happy, obviously!

They all say “Isn’t she lucky”
But she’s still been crying in her sheets
Maybe it’s not everything it seems

“Your life’s so picture perfect
So who cares what’s beneath the surface
You’re just one dimension
Oh, and did I mention
I can tell that you’ve been lying
‘Cause otherwise you wouldn’t be trying
To have a life
I’m owed more of your time
And explanations why”
Sure. Picture perfect life
Oh, picture perfect life

How’d you know I always wanted someone
To mansplain my life to me
Don’t know where you got your expertise
But you know better, surely…

My life is picture perfect
Who cares what’s beneath the surface
I’m just one dimension
And I heard you mention
Sorry, I was never lying
I shouldn’t be apologizing
For my life
But I’m sure you think you’re right
So I won’t waste my time
Sure. Picture perfect life
