Selfish

Oooh

Selfish, selfish yeah

Shoulda known

You would do this again, you never change

You got me feelin' some type of way toward myself

I can't let no one else come close

Cause you showed me that

The ones you love are the ones that never stay

Can't lie, I still had hope that is why I'm broken

I think of all the time you have stolen from me

I wish you'd let me be

I take a few steps forward

Just for you to come destroy 'em yeah

Please don't, please don't, please don't fuck my life up

Every time you come back you just always seem to disrupt me

Can't just come back when you choose

After all you put me through

I'm not collateral damage to your issues

Selfish, selfish

I meant what I said

I can't help it, help it

Love you from a distance now instead

It's not that you're bad, but you've caused damage you can't mend

Why are all of my angels dressed in red

Used to think it was me

That I'm the one to blame

Spent days on days, and nights on end

Laying in bed covered up in my shame

Never knew why I felt like this and you weren't around to explain and

All the pain you caused still persists

That's why I never feel safe

Steady pushing people away

Take a step

Then I take a step back I

Guess I have you to thank for that

Try to leave the past in the past

But it always finds a way to be present where I'm at

Cause every time things are good, I see your face

Subtle salt in my wound

Reopening up all the pain

And I really, really put a fight up

And you're, not even part of it

But you still somehow fuck my life up

If you wanted to disappear

Wish you woulda just dined and dashed

Cause all of this walkin' in, walkin' out, walkin' back into my life

Is giving me whiplash

Selfish, selfish

I meant what I said

I can't help it, help it

Love you from a distance now instead

It's not that you're bad, but you've caused damage you can't mend

Why are all of my angels dressed in red

Mmmm, yeah

Can't afford more second chances

Cause you, you always take my love for granted

You were supposed to be the one

That I could trust, but that trust is gone

You don't deserve to get my love

Selfish, selfish

I meant what I said

I can't help it, help it

Love you from a distance now instead

It's not that you're bad, but you've caused damage you can't mend

Why are all of my angels dressed in red

Selfish, selfish
