Selfish
Eva Celia Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Make it hard for me to tell you the truth
Every time I let you in
Make me feel like I'm wildin'
You don't wanna put up a fight
You only tryna be right, I don't mind
I could, I could do this all night
Baby, you don't know what you're doing
Tell me, could we see it through?
Cool your head down, we're barely speakin'
You ain't got a word but I know what you're thinkin'
You said you care but you're so far gone
Down the hill we go I'm barely holding on
Guess I'm, I'm just overreacting
Know I could be so selfish, I can't help it
Baby, you don't know what you're doing
Tell me, could we see it through?
Lately, I've been holding my own hands
I get myself up and learn to love again
Sometimes it gets harder, that's why we grow bitter
I know you have your fears, but I'm not on my knees
Baby, you don't know what you're doing
Tell me, could we see this through?
Lately I've been holding my own hands
Lately I've been holding my own hands
In Eva Celia's song "Selfish," the lyrics suggest the struggle of being in a relationship where honesty is difficult to convey. The singer expresses her frustration with her partner's inability to fight for their relationship and address their issues, leaving her feeling as though she is the one carrying the weight of the relationship's survival. She admits to her own selfish tendencies, but also acknowledges her partner's lack of effort. Despite this, she expresses a desire to work through their struggles together and hold onto the love they share.
The lines "Ain't the kind to tell you what to do, make it hard for me to tell you the truth" suggest that the singer does not want to control her partner's actions or dictate their behavior, but at the same time, she finds it difficult to communicate her own thoughts and feelings. The lyrics "Every time I let you in, make me feel like I'm wildin'" imply that despite her willingness to open up, her partner's lack of effort causes her to be unsure and confused in their relationship.
In the chorus, the singer questions her partner's commitment to their relationship and asks if they can "see it through" despite their difficulties. She acknowledges that sometimes it is hard to keep their love from growing "bitter," but concludes the song with the lines "Lately I've been holding my own hands," suggesting her newfound strength to take control of her own life.
