People Pleaser

It isn't really okay
Don't you know your words, they get me?
Violent and stuff and I'm pushing, it's rough and I beg
You know that I need to stay out late
Talking it out with my friends who allow me to say

You know a few things have happened to me when I was younger
But you never thought to wonder, too many for me to number
Am I really gonna take another ride with him
Or with her or with them til I'm gone, 'til I can't remember?

'Cause I people-please, it's a kind of disease
I told you that I'm really not alright
Break it down, I'm not sticking around
I'm gonna love whoever's right in front of me

(I people-please) is it really that bad?

I'd never really spoken
Out about what gets me down
I'm telling you what I think that it is
That you want me to say

You know a few things have happened to me when I was younger
But you never thought to wonder, you only thought to blame me
So I'm gonna take a ride with him and with her
And with them til I'm gone, 'til I can't remember

'Cause I people-please, it's a kind of disease
I told you that I'm really not alright
Break it down, I'm not sticking around
I'm gonna love whoever's right in front of me

(I people-please)
Is it really that bad?
Is it really that bad?
(I people-please) is it really that bad?

By the garage near your house, we went out to get some smokes
I didn't let anyone know where I was going
Then that other time in town, we sat around the studio
And I said, "I think you're a little old for me," didn't you know?
Then you asked me what I wanted, I just wanted to be wanted
Wanted to be grown up
Here I am at 32, thought I'd be saying something new
But I'm not growing, I'm not growing, I'm not growing 'cause of you
Is it really that bad? Is it really that bad?

'Cause I people-please, it's a kind of disease
I told you that I'm really not alright
Break it down, I'm not sticking around
I'm gonna love whoever's right in front of me

(I people-please)
Is it really that bad?
Is it really that bad?
(I people-please) is it really that bad?
