people pleaser

[Verse 1]

I'd lay down on the train tracks

Just so you could cross them

And I'd sink deep in the ocean

Just to meet you at the bottom

[Pre-Chorus]

Show you all you want to see

Tell myself it's empathy

Throw aside the things I need

For you

[Chorus]

'Cause even when it hurts

I'll put you first, that's how I work

Do anything to make sure your world turns

While my world burns, I never learn

'Cause it don't matter if you love me, if you let me down

Though it's killing me, I'll always wanna work it out

Even when it hurts, I'll put you first

Anything to keep you, I'm a people pleaser

[Verse 2]

I wish I could go one day

Not seeking validation

I'd wake up feeling unfazed

If I'm getting any tension

[Pre-Chorus]

I care about how I'm perceived

Show mysеlf some empathy

Prioritise thе things I need from you

[Chorus]

Oh, even when it hurts

I'll put you first, that's how I work

Do anything to make sure your world turns

While my world burns, I never learn

'Cause it don't matter if you love me, if you let me down

Though it's killing me, I'll always wanna work it out

Even when it hurts, I'll put you first

Anything to keep you, I'm a people pleaser

[Bridge]

(Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hm)

I'm a people pleaser, validation seeker

(Hm-hm-hm-hm-hm, hm-hm-hm-hm-hm)

I'm a people pleaser, I'm a people pleaser

[Outro]

I know that I should run

I know I gotta call it

But after all is said and done

Still here in your apartment
