Get a Grip! Songtext
von Breakup Shoes

I feel like a stranger
In my own skin, it′s got me thinking
What must everyone see?
When they look at me?

Do I look like my father?
I don't see it ′til my friends start teasing
That I sound just like him
And that feels pretty grim

Most people say I'm sweet and kind but I can't lie
I′m feeling the façade slip,
I′ve got to get a grip,
Before the worst parts of my psyche
Start to define me
I won't let ′em define me

I'm prob′ly a loser
Everyone I know's got somewhere to call home
But where does that leave me?
A novel type of lonely


Am I more like my uncle?
Working his ass off with nothing to pass on
Drinking to numb the pain,
A brief escape for the brain

Most people say I′m sweet and kind but I can't lie
I'm feeling the façade slip,
I′ve got to get a grip,
Before the worst parts of my psyche
Start to define me
I won′t let 'em define me

I won′t let the worst parts
Of my psyche start to define me

Most people say I'm sweet and kind but I can′t lie
I'm feeling the façade slip,
I′ve got to get a grip,
Before the worst parts of my psyche
Start to define me

I'm feeling the façade slip,
I've got to get a grip,
Before the worst parts of my psyche
Start to define me
I won′t let ′em define me
