Leah Swim - People Lyrics

I try to play it confident but I'm scared to take up space
Insta looks so put together
That my spirit falls apart
Trying to keep up and relate

But mama always told me that I was
Achieving something great
Well now bein' 35, those were stupid silly lies
So that she could save her own face

Second guessin' my own needs
And assuming that I'm wrong for needing
All I want is to help myself, for once

How do I get this right
Oh and how do I tell my inner voice she's right
Oh I've got anger for the lost time eating me alive
Cuz my to do list is just managing burnout and fatigue
I'm just too damn tired to cure my people pleasing disease

I think all the words you said to me
Are wrinkling up my face
I'm keeping tracking of all your worries
It's permanent, they won't erase
All my friends we wonder why
Why we kinda hate our lives
Are we too late
Probably time to let em' go
Gotta end their stupid show
We all die anyway

Second guessin' my own needs
And assuming that I'm wrong for needing
All I want is to help myself, for once

How do I get this right
Oh and how do I tell my inner voice she's right
Oh I've got anger for the lost time eating me alive
Cuz my to do list is just managing burnout and fatigue
I'm just too damn tired to cure my people pleasing disease

How do I get this right
Oh and how do I tell my inner voice she's right
Oh I've got anger for the lost time eating me alive
Cuz my to do list is just managing burnout and fatigue
I'm just too damn tired to cure my people pleasing disease
