You've been acting awful tough lately Smoking a lot of cigarettes lately But inside, you're just a little baby It's okay to say you've got a weak spot You don't always have to be on top Better to be hated Than loved loved loved for what your not You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable You are not a robot You're lovable, so lovable But you're just troubled Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot You've been hanging with the unloved kids Who you never really liked and you never trusted But you are so magnetic, you pick up all the pins Never committing to anything You don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings Don't be so pathetic, just open up and sing I'm vulnerable, I'm vulnerable I am not a robot You're lovable, so lovable But you're just troubled Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Can you teach me how to feel real Can you turn my power on Well, let the drum beat drop Guess what I'm not a robot Guess what I'm not a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot Guess what I'm not a robot, a robot
this hits hard when you’re a therapist friend/people pleaser who puts other people’s needs before your own, have a hard time saying no due to guilt, have only yourself to rely on because you feel guilty for opening up to other people, and try so hard to match up to your own expectations.
I have a savior complex so I very much relate. Ive killed myself trying to make sure everyone else around me is okay which is draining and pointless. Just remember that it's okay to set boundaries with people. People who truly respect you will understand, people who have a problem with you setting boundaries probably only care about their needs. You have to make sure you're good or it'll be difficult helping anyone else. Theres no reason to feel guilty about that. There's this quote by Marina actually and it's stuck with me ever since I heard it bc it's just so true. "I've been a mother to everyone else, to every motherfucker except myself and I don't even have any kids."
i am IN LOVE with her vibrato here when she sings "never committing to anything / you don't pick up the phone when it ring, ring, rings", the editing makes it much easier to hear
