Tell me, why'd you leave me high and dry again?
Am I meant to pretend
That I haven't already said what's on my mind?
Do I really have to say it all again?
And what happens then?
How did it not click?
What stopped it from sinking in?
Why didn't it stick?
And how long until I reach the end?
Because my patience is wearing thin
I'm tired of rehashing words already said
Tired of time spent in my bed
So listen closely, 'cause I've come alive
My true self has arrived
No longer accepting the steady decline
Of people-pleasing til age 25
See, I've figured out just where the issue lies
And are you really surprised
To learn that this is not unique to me?
That there's generations of us who fawned just to survive?
Or that I've grown a spine?
I watched you put others before you and me
And I'm sorry to say
It had to end sometime
So listen closely, 'cause I've come alive
My true self has arrived
No longer accepting the steady decline
Of people-pleasing til age 25
So listen closely, 'cause I won't deprive
Myself of respect this time
No longer accepting the steady decline
Of people-pleasing til age 25
Am I meant to pretend
That I haven't already said what's on my mind?
Do I really have to say it all again?
And what happens then?
How did it not click?
What stopped it from sinking in?
Why didn't it stick?
And how long until I reach the end?
Because my patience is wearing thin
I'm tired of rehashing words already said
Tired of time spent in my bed
So listen closely, 'cause I've come alive
My true self has arrived
No longer accepting the steady decline
Of people-pleasing til age 25
See, I've figured out just where the issue lies
And are you really surprised
To learn that this is not unique to me?
That there's generations of us who fawned just to survive?
Or that I've grown a spine?
I watched you put others before you and me
And I'm sorry to say
It had to end sometime
So listen closely, 'cause I've come alive
My true self has arrived
No longer accepting the steady decline
Of people-pleasing til age 25
So listen closely, 'cause I won't deprive
Myself of respect this time
No longer accepting the steady decline
Of people-pleasing til age 25
