Every little thing, I want to share it all
I want to look the prettiest on the small screen

Pretending to be cool is really tiring

Even if I’m a little obsessed, it’s okay

Today, I feel so giddy
Even if I try to act like I’m not, I’m sad
Because of you, who shows no reaction, I’m upset
My friends call me out without noticing

The call is finally coming through, woo
All day my mood swings up and down
I cry, then get excited and dance again
