The Sake of Me
For such a long time
I'd go somewhere
I didn't feel comfortable
for the sake of others
For such a long time
I'd stay when I was tired
Pushing myself to be happy
for the sake of others
For such a long time
I'd burn myself out
Never getting what I wanted
for the sake of others
Now
I listen to and take care of myself
I recognized my own limits and say no
for the sake of me
