Steady
by: Jules ShearFriends they call me on the phone
´Cause I´m steady, oooh, I'm steady
Talk about unhappy homes
´Cause I´m steady, oooh, I´m steady
Though I don´t like to let it show
I got troubles of my own
We push and pull and we fall apart (woah)
I´m not gonna die of a broken heart (nooo)
I just don´t want to stop and start
´Cause I´m steady, oooh, I´m steady
Day to day is so unsure
But I´m steady, oooh, I´m steady
I watch people crash and soar
But I´m steady, oooh, I'm steady
The more they try so hard to change
The more they stay the same
We push and pull and we fall apart (woah)
I´m not gonna die of a broken heart (nooo)
I just don´t want to stop and start
´Cause I´m steady, oooh, I'm steady
Ooh Yeah!
We´re faced with so much back and forth
I don´t need no ups and downs
We push and pull and we fall apart (woah)
I´m not gonna die of a broken heart (nooo)
I just don´t want to stop and start
´Cause I´m steady ooohhh
I´m steady oohhh oohhh oohhh
