Selfish
Angelus Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Remember you called me?
I didn't pick it up
'Cause I'm too fucked up
I'm off of the drugs
Pray to god that they won't take me
And I'm too selfish I'll admit it
And I'm too high for you to save me
Blame me
Wanna blame me
Over shit I didn't do
Bitch you cannot tame me
And this shit is overdue
Plus you drive me crazy
Swear this life is crazy
Don't you do the wrong thing
(1234)
They wanna
Blame me
Wanna blame me
Over shit I didn't do
Bitch you can not tame me
And this shit is overdue
Plus you drive me crazy
Swear this life is crazy
Don't you do the wrong thing

I didn't wanna text back
Why do you wanna talk?
I'm on a plane got jet lag
I'm standing at the top
I think I'm tired of your trust
I think I'm tired of your love
Your own bros put you in the dust
That's kinda sad, outta luck
Guess that's how it goes
This the road that you chose
This the road that I chose
That's the colors that you showed

They're gonna Blame me
Wanna blame me
Over shit I didn't do
Bitch you can not tame me
Man that shit is overdue
Plus you drive me crazy
Swear this live is crazy
Don't you do the wrong thing
Wait, lemme run it back
Blame me
Wanna blame me
Over shit I didn't do
Bitch you can not tame me
Man that shit is overdue
Plus you drive me crazy




Swear this life is crazy
Don't you do the wrong thing
