"people pleaser" lyrics

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 want to 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 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

I wish I could go one day
Not seeking validation
I'd wake up feeling unfazed
If I'm getting any tension

I care about how I'm perceived
Show myself some empathy
I owe the time to things I need from 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 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

I'm a people pleaser
Validation seeker
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
