(People pleaser)
(People pleaser)
Simon says run
Simon says walk
Simon says spin and jump, I'm tired of listening
I say fly, I say fall down and cry
I'm working my ass off to show you that I'm interesting
I let you express your heart while I keep mine locked in the dark
There's a bird in my cage
That just wants to sing so I'm turning the page
Even if it breaks both my wings
I was born as a leader
I'm not here to appease you
I'm a recovering people pleaser
I still feel like I need you
When I'm falling to pieces
Cause I'm a recovering people pleaser
I'm a recovering people pleaser
Who am I
To take up space
Simon says I should shut up and keep my head down
Then who am I
What a waste
I've got a light I'm gonna shine into your face
I let you express your heart while I keep mine locked in the dark
There's a bird in my cage
That just wants to sing
So I'm turning the page even if it breaks both my wings
I was born as a leader
I'm not here to appease you
I'm a recovering people pleaser
I still feel like I need you
When I'm falling to pieces
Cause I'm a recovering people pleaser
I'm a recovering people pleaser
Why'd he look that way?
Why won't he stay?
Why's the one you love always leave ya?
So full of shame
Am I to blame?
Just a recovering people pleaser
I was born as a leader
I'm not here to appease you
I'm a recovering people pleaser
I still feel like I need you
When I'm falling to pieces
Cause I'm a recovering people pleaser
I'm a recovering people pleaser
I'm a recovering people pleaser
I'm a recovering people pleaser
