Lyrics
Not saying I’m a saint

but I still do

too much for everyone

it’s nothing new

I try to please everyone

make them happy

but feels like no one will do

the same for me

For far too long

I would treat myself the worst

but that’s changing

It’s time to put myself first

It’s not being selfish

it’s called self care

someone’s gotta do it

cause life’s not fair

I try to please everyone

make them happy

but feels like no one will do

the same for me

For far too long

I would treat myself the worst

but that’s changing

It’s time to put myself first

If you do too much people

will take advantage of you

If you don’t care for yourself

no one else will

If you don’t care for yourself

no one else will

If you don’t care for yourself

no one else will

I try to please everyone

make them happy

but feels like no one will do

the same for me

For far too long

I would treat myself the worst

but that’s changing

It’s time to put myself first

It’s time to put myself first
