"selfish" lyrics

Did nothing wrong
But said I was sorry
Work overtime
To please everybody else
Cause I don't know
How to say no

Won't let em down
So I'll run on empty
Take on the weight
That's not mine to carry
It's weird to say
Cause it's not in my DNA

But it ain't selfish to put yourself first
It ain't helpless to cry when it hurts
It ain't easy breaking patterns
That you've already learned
But it ain't selfish to put yourself first

Thought I was being
Easy to love
But all I was doing was
Trying not to ruffle feathers
Now I know better
Sometimes I forget but
I try to remember

It ain't selfish to put yourself first
It ain't helpless to cry when it hurts
It ain't easy breaking patterns
That you've already learned
But it ain't selfish to put yourself first

Oh

Standing up for yourself
It isn't mean
And choosing not to go through hell
It isn't greed

And it ain't selfish to put yourself first
It ain't helpless to cry when it hurts
It ain't easy breaking patterns
That you've already learned
But it ain't selfish to put yourself first
So put yourself first
