Facebook Junkie

Verse 1

I'm a Facebook junkie, got no life of my own,

Sittin' in this old house, starin' at my phone.

Everybody's fishin', everybody's on a beach,

Everybody's livin' just a little out of reach.

Coffee's gettin' colder, the daylight slips away,

I'm watchin' other people Live while my life slips away.

Thumb keeps on scrollin' like a wheel out on the road,

Carryin' everybody else's heavy load.

Chorus

I'm a Facebook junkie, that's the truth I know,

Livin' life through pictures everywhere I go.

Smilin' at the highlights, cryin' at the blues,

Readin' everybody else's true / fake news.

But maybe tomorrow I'll put this phone away,

Trade this little screen for a brighter day.

Call an old friend, hit the open road,

Write a few stories I can call my own.

Verse 2

Saw a high school sweetheart drivin' a brand-new ride,

A cousin climbed a mountain with the sunset at his side.

Everybody's winnin', least that's the way it seems,

Till you wake up wonderin' where you've left your dreams.

The dog keeps barking , I hear the cat's meow

The neighbors wave hello—I barely stop or slow

Life's been knockin' softly , right outside my door,

Maybe it's worth living just a little more.

Bridge

There's a whole wide world beyond this tainted glass,

Memories to make instead of watchin' others pass.

Likes don't hold you, hearts don't keep you warm,

Real life is waiting just beyond the storm.

Final Chorus

I'm a Facebook junkie, but I don't have to stay,

One small step can lead me ... to a better way.
