[Verse 1]

You love the drugs, but you shame the addict

Flex your new car but can't stand the traffic

Would you read the story if the ending isn't tragic?

Can't have the noise without all the static

Pick me apart so you can see

Which of the parts to keep and to leave

So I look just how you think I should be


[Chorus]

You want the high-igh-igh-ighlights

Not when I hate-ate-ate my life

Things I don't show you in the light

But when you look twice, you'll see the fault lines

You want the high-igh-igh-ighlights

Not when I hate-ate-ate my life

Things I don't show you in the light

But when you look twice, you'll see the fault lines


[Verse 2]

They see the scars I'm hiding, tongue I'm biting

Weight crushing my chest so tightly

Reasons I compare myself

The hair that keeps on falling out

The fucked up things I think about

Like maybe I should kill myself

If I fall, will it make a sound if nobody's around?


[Chorus]

You want the high-igh-igh-ighlights

Not when I hate-ate-ate my life

Things I don't show you in the light

But when you look twice, it's just the highlights

You want the high-igh-igh-ighlights

Not when I hate-ate-ate my life

Things I don't show you in the light

But when you look twice, you'll see the fault lines

But when you look twice, you'll see the fault lines


[Outro]

But when you look twice, it's just the highlights
