Fear Of Missing Out Lyrics by Ben Platt
I don’t fold
I’ve been working on saying, “No”
Not tryna please a world I can’t control
No proof for anybody else
But my pride
Is keeping me awake at night
I’m shutting down and losing sight
Of what I want for myself
So good at drowning voices out
Lost mine in the crowd
I’m not scared of missing parties, I can step back from the scene
I’m not scared of missing out on photo opportunities
I’m not scared of disappointing all the people I won’t see
I’m afraid of holding myself back from who I’m meant to be
I’ve got the fear of missing out on me
It’s so hard
To tell the pressure and desire apart
What comes from them and what’s inside my heart?
Who’s to say what’s best?
Let that be
All that matters is what’s good for me
If it’s instinct, if it’s insecurity
It could lead to happiness
Won’t know till I say yes
I’m not scared of missing parties, I can step back from the scene
I’m not scared of missing out on photo opportunities
I’m not scared of disappointing all the people I won’t see
I’m afraid of holding myself back from who I’m meant to be
I’ve got the fear of missing out on me
I’ve got the fear of missing out on me
Let their voices all ring out
Mine is just as loud
So I’ll got out to some parties if that’s where I wanna be
And I’ll take a couple photos just to save a memory
There are people that I’ll miss and there are people that I’ll see
But not one of them will hold me back from who I’m meant to be
I’ll kick the fear of missing out on me
I’ll kick the fear of missing out on me
