Disconnect Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I've been feeling anxious, ain't been feeling right
I've been staying up, yeah, staying up all night
I've been calling exes, tryna disconnect
I can't cut the wires running 'round my head, head
[Pre-Chorus]
Need to look after myself
Yeah, I need to take a breath
Need to look after my health
Yeah, I need to disconnect
[Chorus]
Yeah, I need to take a breath, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, I need to disconnect, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
I go all out all night, yeah, I go home alone
Sleeping in my bed, head beside my phone (Phone)
Looking at a screen glowing in the dark (Glowing in the dark)
I just wanna dream, but I can't seem to switch off
[Pre-Chorus]
Need to look after myself
Yeah, I need to take a breath
Need to look after my health
Yeah, I need to disconnect
[Chorus]
Yeah, I need to take a breath, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Yeah, I need to disconnect, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Post-Chorus]
Feel my body shutting down
I don't wanna hear a sound
Feel my battery running low
I don't wanna be alone
[Bridge]
Yeah, I need to take a breath
Yeah, I need a disconnect
Feel my fuse about to blow
Babe, I need to hit the road
Don't know where I wanna go
I don't wanna be alone
Living through a telephone
Like a body covered in chrome
Feel my body shutting down
I don't wanna hear a sound
[Chorus]
Yeah, I need to take a breath
Yeah, I need to disconnect
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Outro]
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
