who cares

Who cares if you cry?
Who cares if you fall?
They only see your worth when you stand tall
Respect only comes
When you've proven your might
So now you work hard
Day turns into night
Torture yourself just to please all their eyes
'cause respect only comes
When you've proven your might

But what did it cost you?
You lost yourself to
The ocean of their expectations
Let me just remind you
That you don't need to
'cause darling all we got is one life

And it's your life, don't let them hold you down
Ignore the voices that just want to see you drown
You don't need to prove that you are strong
All the time
And one day we'll all be six feet underground
So why'd you stress yourself trying to get a crown
Is it just because respect only comes
When you've proven your might
You don't need to prove them anything

Should've done this, should've done that
They tell those things at your back
Whispers echo in the dark
Leaving scars, leaving marks
'cause respect only comes
When you've proven your might
(Toxic people, oh toxic people)
Fake people, fake treatments
Only look for your achievements
If you haven't got things proven
They treat you like something in the trashbin
So you'd torture yourself
Just to prove them of something
(Toxic people, oh toxic people)
But what did it cost you?
You lost yourself to
The ocean of their expectations
Let me just remind you
That you don't need to
'cause darling all we got is one life

And it's your life, don't let them hold you down
Ignore the voices that just want to see you drown
You don't need to prove that you are strong
All the time
And one day we'll all be six feet underground
So why'd you stress yourself trying to get a crown
Is it just because respect only comes
When you've proven your might
And they're all fake
You don't need to prove them anything
(Toxic people, oh toxic people)
