Lyrics: Unsteady by Gracie Abrams
Hiding I kinda feel like an island I should go home But I'm fighting that right now People freak me out And I panic I should be cool but I panic Out of the blue And I end up on the ground Weaker all around But it's so hard When it feels like my fault When I keep 'em so far Happens when I go dark I'm so unsteady It's so hard When it feels like my fault When I keep 'em so far Happens when I go dark I'm so unsteady Deeper Words seem to cut so much deeper Right to the bone And I let 'em break me down Someone pull me out right now And I'm in danger The girl in the mirror is a stranger At all of the parties I talk but there's no sound Violet shrinking down And it's so hard When it feels like my fault When I keep 'em so far Happens when I go dark I'm so unsteady It's so hard When it feels like my fault When I keep 'em so far Happens when I go dark I'm so unsteady Lately I've been staring at the ceiling It's a sort of funny quiet feeling Lately I don't know what to believe in None of this is changing with the seasons Hiding I kinda feel like an island I should go home But I'm fighting that right now People freak me out But it's so hard When it feels like my fault When I keep 'em so far Happens when I get dark I'm so unsteady It's so hard When it feels like my fault When I keep 'em so far Happens when I go dark I'm so unsteady I'm so unsteady I'm so unsteady I'm so un- I'm so unsteady
