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 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 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
