people pleaser Lyrics by Henry Moodie
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 what you want to see
Tell myself it’s empathy
Throw aside the things I need
For you
Cos 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
Cos it don’t matter if you love me if you let me down
Though it’s killing me I’ll always want to work it out
Even when it hurts I’ll put you first
Anything to keep ya
I’m a people pleaser
I wish I could go one day
Not seeking validation
I’d wake up feeling unphased
If I’m getting any attention
Not care about how I’m perceived
Show myself some empathy
Prioritize the 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
Cos it don’t matter if you love me if you let me down
Thought it’s killing me I’ll always want to work it out
Even when it hurts I’ll put you first
Anything to keep ya
I’m a people pleaser
Hmmm hmmm
I’m a people pleaser
Validation seeker
Hmmm hmmm
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
