"Unstable" lyrics

"Unstable"
(feat. The Kid LAROI)

[The Kid LAROI:]
Uh-uh, uh-uh
Unstable

[Justin Bieber {The Kid LAROI}:]
Sometimes I think I overthink {Think I}
And I start to feel anxiety {Anxie—}
There were times I couldn't even breathe (Mmm)
But you never once abandoned me {No, you never, ooh}

I tried to {scare you, scare you away}
Showed you the {door, you adored me anyway}
When I was broken in pieces
You were my peace of mind, you were my peace of {mind}

[Justin Bieber:]
Yeah, you loved, yeah, you loved
Yeah, you loved me when I was unstable
Never judged, never judged
Never judged me when I was unable
To love myself, to trust myself
Yeah, you loved, yeah, you loved
Yeah, you loved me when I was unstable

[The Kid LAROI:]
White knuckles tryna hold my sanity (Hold my)
Not every wound is the kind that bleeds, uh, uh
Never know when my mind's gonna turn on me (Never know)
But you're the one I call for security (Oh, baby)
These memories have been toxic (Oh)
I tried to wean and get off it (Oh)
Through everything, you been my rock
I think you're the only thing I didn't get wrong
Oh, I know God was listening
Every night when I would pray
You're an angel watchin' over me (Oh)
All I need

[Justin Bieber {The Kid LAROI}:]
I tried to {scare you, scare you away}
Showed you the {door, you adored me anyway}
When I was broken in pieces
You were my peace of mind, you were my peace of mind

[Justin Bieber:]
Yeah, you loved, yeah, you loved
Yeah, you loved me when I was unstable
Never judged, never judged
Never judged me when I was unable
To love myself, to trust myself
Yeah, you loved, yeah, you loved
Yeah, you loved me when I was unstable

"Unstable" is the first song on which Justin Bieber and The Kid LAROI collaborated. The latter confirmed to 95-106 Capital FM in February 2021, that Justin Bieber had reached out through the direct messages, "He messaged me and said 'You got the sauce,' and I started freaking out."
According to Vogue, this song was inspired by Justin Bieber's wife, Hailey. He explained, "My wife was just there for me through it all. So the whole message is, like, 'You've been there for me while I'm really unstable'. There's probably a lot of people who have been in this position. That is always the goal: to make music that's relatable and can touch people."
