plebs making the music they need and want
Story behind the song
point of view of someone who a person pleaser
Lyrics
Verse 1
She learned early how to read the room
Like weather in her bones
A glance, a sigh, a tightening jaw
Was all she needed to know
Taught to smile before she spoke
To check the tone, to keep it low
The quiet art of shrinking down
So others wouldn't go
Verse 2
She picks up every empty cup
Before they know it's there
Laughs a beat too fast at jokes
That no one else would dare
She dresses in the safest shade
Apologizes just in case
Her voice is soft from all the times
She gave her space away
Bridge
Not afraid of being lonely
Just terrified of blame
She builds her worth in thank-yous
Signs her name with shame
Theres no room left to be angry
No safe place for her "no"
She trades her comfort daily
For a nod, a good to go
Verse 3
You see her in the helpers hands
The one who stays too long
Who fills the silence others make
And swears shes never wrong
You thank her and she melts a bit
Like praise could fix the cracks
But under every smile she wears
Shes bracing for a slap
Outro
And if she ever stops to breathe
It might all come undone
So she keeps the plates all spinning
And tells herself it's fun
She doesn't want a medal
Just a day without the weight
Of wondering if she matters
When theres nothing left to take
