Pleasing People

I thought it was a level game

Where everybody treats you the same

Am I the only one who’s saving face?

Being good is so overrated

And I always accommodate

But life teaches what you can’t tolerate

Like all of the shit I used to put up with

‘cause I thought I deserved it

I’m done pleasing people

It’s stupid it’s pointless

When you break your promise

I’m done pleasing people

When it’s mе who gets

All shook up and upset

I’m done plеasing people

And I don’t really care

If you’re disappointed

I’m done pleasing people

There’s nothing to prove

I’m done pleasing you

Don’t ask if I’ll accept

Anything less than the best

I’ll show you how I’ll set the tone

If you don’t change

I’ll make space for something new

Won’t count my loss I never lose

And if I leave don’t move

I won’t accept mixed messages or anything less

It’s you and I but maybe I was caught your grip

There’s no guilt in walking away

You can't hold me down just to make me stay

I’m done pleasing people

It’s stupid it’s pointless

When you break your promise

I’m done pleasing people

When it’s me who gets

All shook up and upset

I’m done pleasing people

And I don’t really care

If you’re disappointed

I’m done pleasing people

There’s nothing to prove

I’m done pleasing you

Why would I keep the peace at the expense of mine?

And now I bite my tongue but then I bleed all night

I let you get away with all these petty crimes

The game was rigged so I paid the fine

For playing cool and staying kind

And being fair well it’s a waste of time

I’m so done with being nice

So here’s a middle finger

Oh do you get the picture?

I’m done pleasing people

It’s stupid it’s pointless

When you break your promise

I’m done pleasing people

When it’s me who gets

All shook up and upset

I’m done pleasing people

And I don’t really care

If you’re disappointed

I’m done pleasing people

There’s nothing to prove

I’m done pleasing you
