“Sat On the Floor” is a song by American YouTubers Caleb Hyles and Illymation. It was released on August 10th, 2022, to correspond with the latter’s YouTube video titled “My regrets from high school theater”, which was released a day later and also features vocal contributions from Hyles.
The song...
[Verse 1: Caleb Hyles]
Standing on the sidelines, waiting for a chance to speak up
And whenever it is my turn, I will say
"Well, I don't really know what it means to have the spotlight
And the more I think about it, I'm afraid"
[Chorus: Caleb Hyles]
'Cause I measure out my worth and put it on the line
But never give too much, so I'll stay fine
If I'm disappointing you, then where does that leave me?
I know that I should stand tall and want more
But I sat on the floor
[Post-Chorus: Caleb Hyles & Illymation]
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey
[Verse 2: Illymation, Caleb Hyles]
Insecurity, what does it mean for somеone like me?
Tirеd of fighting my reflection every day (I am fighting my reflection)
Stop projecting the lies you tell yourself
Just be happy that you've someone to talk to
[Chorus: Caleb Hyles & Illymation]
'Cause I measure out my worth and put it on the line
But never give too much, so I'll stay fine
If I'm disappointing you, then where does that leave me?
I know that I should stand tall and want more
[Bridge: Caleb Hyles & Illymation]
I know I cannot fight this fear of failure sinking in
Why can't I just be the brave one, knowing that I'll rise again?
Because who am I if not just a losing fight?
I can't be the only one who's tired of trying to try
[Chorus: Illymation, Caleb Hyles, Both]
So don't measure out your worth, it isn't on the line
Don't hold back who you are, you will be fine
No longer live in regret, compassion is the cure
I know that I can try too hard sometimes
So don't measure out your worth, it isn't on the line (It isn't on the line)
Don't hold back who you are, you will be fine (You will be fine)
No longer live in regret, compassion is the cure
I know that I can try too hard sometimes (Hey, hey, hey, hey)
[Outro: Caleb Hyles]
So I'll sit on the floor
Take a nap
And hydrate
