Considering Myself

I tend to give, forget to take

On to the next, don’t celebrate

Guess that I was raised to be modest

Never asked, I didn’t dare

Not because I didn’t care

Just didn’t see the obvious problem

Stepping over a line or two

Compromising my every move

I’ve been making my kindness my weakness

I’ve been so caught up in pleasing someone else

Set my eyes on everyone except myself

Looking ‘round to find out who could use some help

Maybe it’s time to start considering myself

Straighten up, no holding back

When it’s right, I go left

Who says that I can’t play the villain

Feet firm, don’t shy away

No shame in getting my way

Don’t be afraid to make some decisions

Stepping over a line or three

No more fear how they feel ‘bout me

‘Cause I’ve been making my kindness my weakness

I’ve been so caught up in pleasing someone else

Set my eyes on everyone except myself

Looking ‘round to find out who could use some help

Maybe it’s time to start considering myself

Maybe, oh maybe it’s time to

Maybe, yeah maybe it’s time to

Start considering myself

Maybe, yeah maybe it’s time to

Maybe, oh maybe it’s time to

Start considering myself

I’ve been so caught up in pleasing someone else

Set my eyes on everyone except myself

Looking ‘round to find out who could use some help

Maybe it’s time to start considering myself
