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
