Priority

[Intro]
Why can’t I be my own priority?

[Verse 1]
I’ve gotten so good at giving up
What I want
‘Cause I’m just overcompensating, calculating
As to keep from fallin’ apart (Uh)

I know you’re so used to getting all
The things you want
But I’m so over staying undercover
Holding this together
Done playing dumb

[Pre-Chorus]
And I don’t need to live like this
Holding my breath
Watching my step to keep you happy
Maybe it’s the oldest kid in me
Tryna fix things
Never time to fix me

[Chorus]
Why can’t I be my own priority? (Mm-hmm)
Feels like I’m losing way too much of me (Hmm)
So good at solving your problems
Call me 3am no problem
Why can’t I be my own priority? (Yeah)

[Verse 2]
I’ve gotten so used to letting you
Call the shots, ‘cause I’m just always
Rolling ovеr, taking bullets just to
Keep reloading your gun (your gun, your gun, your gun mm)

I’m trying so hard to make surе you’re OK
It’s the same thing every time
And I know I’m to blame
‘Cause you take advantage of what
You know you can get out of me
Mmmmm

[Chorus]
Why can’t I be my own priority? (Uh-huh)
Feels like I’m losing way too much of me
So good at solving your problems
Call me 3am no problem
Why can’t I be my own priority?

[Post-Chorus]
And I don’t need to live like this
Holding my breath
Watching my step to keep you happy
Maybe it’s the oldest kid in me
Tryna fix things
Never time to fix me

And I don’t need to live like this
Holding my breath
Watching my step to keep you happy
Maybe it’s the oldest kid in me
Tryna fix things
Never time to fix me

[Outtro]
Why can’t I be my own priority? (Mm-hmm)
Feels like I’m losing way too much of me
