Twitter Hearts Killed the Favoriting Star

I met you on Live Journal way back in ‘02
Lyin’ awake intent on following you
Animated graphics didn’t stop you coming through
Oh-a-oh

They took the credit for all your bad poetry
Rewritten in 140 characters for free
And now I understand the Web 2 point 0 scene

Oh-a-oh
I faved your selfies
Oh-a-oh
What can you tell me?

Twitter hearts killed the favoriting star
Twitter hearts killed the favoriting star

On my phone, held in my palm
We can’t unplug, we’ve grown too calm
Whoa!
Oh-aoh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-aoh-oh-oh-oh

And now we meet-up in an invite-only Slack
Push-notified, but seems so long since you’ve been back
And when you’re lonely you can blame it all on @jack

Oh-a-oh
You were the first one
Oh-a-oh
You were the last one

Twitter hearts killed the favoriting star
Twitter hearts killed the favoriting star

On my phone, held in my palm
We can’t unplug, we’ve grown too calm
Too calm!

Oh-aoh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-aoh-oh-oh-oh

Alright

Twitter hearts killed the favoriting star
Twitter hearts killed the favoriting star
On my phone, held in my palm
We can’t unplug, we’ve grown too calm

Semantics changed and broke your heart
So put all the blame on pixel art

You are… the favoriting star
Twitter hearts killed the favoriting star
Twitter hearts killed that favoriting star, yes, it did
