Unstable Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You're up, I'm just getting in
So rough, God knows where I've been
Your eyes are staring at my sins
There's no time to speak our minds

[Pre-Chorus]
All of our frustrations on hold
'Cause you don't know the life that I know
Standing straight but I'm off the wall
You need love but I'm in my zone

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know you deserve better
Someone to give you all the things that I could never
I'd love to be the one that stays with you forever
I don't wanna let you go
I just think that you should know
I'm unstable
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm unstable

[Verse 2]
I'm up and you're just getting in
So tough, two wrongs never win
Your hands are pressed against my skin
There's no time to speak our minds
[Pre-Chorus]
All of our frustrations on hold
'Cause you don't know the life that I know
Standing straight but I'm off the wall
You need love but I'm in my zone

[Chorus]
I know, I know, I know, I know you deserve better
Someone that give you all the things that I could never
I'd love to be the one that stays with you forever
I don't wanna let you go
I just think that you should know
I'm unstable
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm unstable
Ooh, ooh, ooh

[Bridge]
Even when we're both got nothing on
Life's so fine, still wait to come between us
Never tell me that you're close to done
I hate to be your one and only weakness

[Chorus]
'Cause I know, I know, I know, I know you deserve better
Someone that give you all the things that I could never
I'd love to be the one that stays with you forever
I don't wanna let you go
I just think that you should know
I know, I know, I know, I know you deserve better
Someone that give you all the things that I could never
I'd love to be the one that stays with you forever
I don't wanna let you go
I just think that you should know
I'm unstable
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm unstable
Ooh, ooh, ooh
I'm unstable

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did Zak Abel say about "Unstable"?
Genius Answer

So, I did the ‘Joker presents’ EP, then another EP after that called ‘One Hand on the Future’, and that was with a couple of other producers. Then I had I period of time where I wasn’t really sure where to go with the album. I tried a couple of different routes and then suddenly it all kinda clicked. I wrote ‘Unstable’ and that, production wise, led where I wanted to go for the rest of the album. I put that out, and people seem to have a really positive response to it. (Rebel Interview)[
