Tyla – Priorities Lyrics

My first mistake
Thinking that I could be everything
Look how spreading myself thin
Became my priority again

I was in the wrong place with the right energy
High off serotonin and calling it chemistry
So no more taking one for the team
These hands don’t wanna hold onto things
Holding me back from noticing

There wasn’t a line I wouldn’t cross
Was always down to get you what you want
Saying it out loud makes no sense, but at the time it did
Good intent, but I admit

My first mistake
Thinking that I could be everything
Look how spreading myself thin
Became my priority again
Lost my way
Lost my way
Making sure it was you that was straight
You, that, straight
Oh, spreading myself thin
Became my priority again

How many places can I be at once?
How many people can I be at once?
How many people can I please at once?

There wasn’t a line I wouldn’t cross (Cross)
Was always down to get you what you want (Want)
Saying it out loud makes no sense, but at the time it did
Good intent, but I admit

My first mistake
Thinking that I could be everything
Look how spreading myself thin
Became my priority again
Lost my way
Lost my way
Making sure it was you that was straight
You, that, straight
Oh, spreading myself thin
Became my priority again
