Liberation from a Toxic Relationship: A Journey of Self-Discovery

Alexander Stewart’s song 'Put You First' is a heartfelt expression of the pain and frustration of being in a one-sided relationship. Through the lyrics, we see the story of someone who realizes they've been manipulated and overlooked by a self-centered partner. From the start, the speaker describes how their partner constantly demanded attention, always putting their own needs first and leaving the speaker feeling ignored and devalued.

The song delves into the emotional manipulation that the speaker endured, as their partner continually shifted blame onto them, making them feel guilty and submissive. Eventually, the speaker recognizes that to see the relationship’s reality, they had to let go. This difficult realization highlights that loving someone so self-absorbed only brought them pain and heartache.

Ultimately, the song conveys a sense of relief and freedom, despite the painful process of cutting ties with someone who never appreciated their love. Choosing to walk away becomes an empowering act of self-discovery, where the speaker finally prioritizes their own needs. The song powerfully reminds us of the importance of recognizing toxic relationships and putting self-love first.
