Selfish
Golden Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

At times I feel like
I'm just too selfish
But when you feel
Just can't help it
But to love both

At times I feel like
I'm just too selfish
But when you feel
Just can't help it
But to love both

I guess I got
Still growing up to do
Figure things out
But do I really need to?
I don't want just one
Gotta have it all
Call me greedy but born this way
You gotta deal with it babe

I wish I could give you what you needed babe
All colors are beautiful babe

At times I feel like
I'm just too selfish
But when you feel
Just can't help it
But to love both

At times I feel like
I'm just too selfish
But when you feel
Just can't help it
But to love both

I wonder how it feels
Just to see and want one
But I want all of you both
And it's crazy
Tried my try once I can only
Go for more
I want all you both
And it's crazy

I like her and you too
And it's hard to explain
But it's what it is babe
Can't help it even if I could
I like her and you too
And it's hard to explain
But it's what it is babe
Can't help it even if I could

At times I feel like
I'm just too selfish
But when you feel
Just can't help it
But to love both

At times I feel like
I'm just too selfish
But when you feel




Just can't help it
But to love both

Line by Line Meaning

At times I feel like
There are moments when I sense that


I'm just too selfish
I am excessively concerned about my own happiness


But when you feel
But when the heart desires


Just can't help it
It cannot be stopped or controlled


But to love both
It chooses to love more than one person


I guess I got
I suppose that I have


Still growing up to do
Yet more to learn as I mature


Figure things out
Understand and sort out my feelings


But do I really need to?
But is it necessary for me to do so?


I don't want just one
I do not desire to be with only one


Gotta have it all
I must possess and experience it all


Call me greedy but born this way
Label me selfish, but it is an inherent trait


You gotta deal with it babe
You must accept and cope with it, my love


I wish I could give you what you needed babe
I regret that I cannot fulfill your desires, my dear


All colors are beautiful babe
All forms of love are valid and admirable, my love


I wonder how it feels
I am curious how it would be


Just to see and want one
To experience attraction towards only one


But I want all of you both
However, I prefer to have both of you


And it's crazy
It may seem unreasonable or nonsensical


Tried my try once I can only
I attempted to change, but I failed and can only


Go for more
Pursue more than one person


I like her and you too
I am romantically interested in both of you


And it's hard to explain
It is difficult to articulate why I feel this way


But it's what it is babe
But this is the reality, my love


Can't help it even if I could
I cannot change my feelings even if I wanted to
