people pleaser

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

Show you all you wanna see

Tell myself it's empathy

Throw aside the things I need for you

'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 killin' me, I'll always wanna work it out

Even when it hurts, I'll put you first

Anythin' to keep you, I'm a people pleaser

I wish I could go one day

Not seekin' validation

I'd wake up feelin' unfazed

If I'm gettin' any tension

I care about how I'm perceived (I'm perceived)

Show myself some empathy

I owe the time to things I need from you

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 killin' me, I'll always wanna work it out

Even when it hurts, I'll put you first

Anythin' to keep you, I'm a people pleaser

Mmh-hmm, mmh-hmm

I'm a people pleaser, validation seeker

Mmh-hmm, mmh-hmm

I'm a people pleaser

I'm a people pleaser

I know that I should run

I know I gotta call it

But after all is said and done

Still here in your apartment
