People Please

Why's it so hard to say "No"?
To the plans, to the party
To the things that I really don't wanna go to (wanna go to, wanna go to)
Why's it so hard to say "Yes"
To the chance, to the opportunity
That could be the best (be the best)
Instead I worry how it affects
Everyone else around me (around me, around me)
Look at me saying "I'm sorry" (I'm sorry)

People please
Why can't you see you're killing me?
Drinking from a cup that's half empty
Making everyone else so happy except for me
People please
Can we all just take one step back?
Put ourselves first instead of last
'Cause I keep losing more of me
The more I try to people please

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
People please
People please

Sick of feeling so guilty
For the line in the sand that I draw and the boundaries that I try to make
Then I see a pissed off look on your face
(Wait) when did it become a crime
To have a little peace of mind?
(Don't) take advantage of my time
Or the fact that I'm kind

People please
Why can't you see you're killing me?
Drinking from a cup that's half empty
Making everyone else so happy except for me
People please
Can we all just take one step back?
Put ourselves first instead of last
'Cause I keep losing more of me
The more I try to people please

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
People please
People please

Maybe it's my fault
I let people walk
All over me
Yeah, I think I need
To just let it go
I know the real ones won't
Ever need me to

People please
Why can't you see you're killing me? (Oh)
Drinking from a cup that's half empty
Making everyone else so happy except for me
People please
Can we all just take one step back? (One step back)
Put ourselves first instead of last (oh)
'Cause I keep losing more of me
The more I try to people please

Oh, oh
Oh, oh
People please
People please
People please
