Selfish
Jdillon Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can't avoid, my problems why
Did you leave me all alone
With no place to call home
You left your things, in my car
You left my life, and my heart
Don't know why, this path gets hard
When your selfish, I can't help it
No escape, I gave you everything that's no bluff
Made you stay, but you left me right behind ya
Wide awake, cuz baby I've been feeling so stuck
There might be bones in my closet, hidden till' I die
Can't let you see so I lock it I think I lost my mind
Piece it back together but it's difficult to get up and try
Hard to measure all the love that I gave up every time
I can't take another heartbreak
When there's no problems I get scared and feel my heart ache
Told her find a new direction time to part ways
Had to tell her to get out of here the hard way
Fill the void, deep inside
Can't avoid, my problems why
Did you leave me all alone
With no place to call home
You left your things, in my car
You left my life, and my heart
Don't know why, this path gets hard
When your selfish, I can't help it
I can't help that you stay on my mind
But real love is the hardest to find
He can't have you and neither can I
Going psycho I don't feel alive
10 missed calls, look how far I fall
Getting bad withdrawals, missing you my fault
Sit against the wall, thinking back to all our memories
Secrets that you kept with me, love is still my remedy (Yea)
I burned the photos, and letters below those
She said she wrote those, baby that's a low blow
Moving on is straining my brain
I took a shower to drain all of the puddles of pain (Yea)
Fill the void, deep inside
Can't avoid, my problems why
Did you leave me all alone
With no place to call home
You left your things, in my car
You left my life, and my heart
Don't know why, this path gets hard
When your selfish, I can't help it
You left your things, in my car
You left my life, and my heart
Don't know why, this path gets hard
When your selfish, I can't help it

Fill the void, deep inside
Trying to fill the empty space within myself
Can't avoid, my problems why
Unable to escape from the issues I face
Did you leave me all alone
Feeling abandoned by you
With no place to call home
Without a sense of belonging or security
You left your things, in my car
You unintentionally left behind reminders of you in my life
You left my life, and my heart
You departed from my life, taking a piece of my heart with you
Don't know why, this path gets hard
Uncertain about why this journey becomes difficult
When your selfish, I can't help it
Struggling to deal with your self-centeredness
I can't help that you stay on my mind
I can't control the fact that I constantly think about you
But real love is the hardest to find
Discovering genuine love is exceptionally challenging
He can't have you and neither can I
Neither him nor I can possess or be with you
Going psycho I don't feel alive
Feeling mentally unstable and disconnected from life
10 missed calls, look how far I fall
Reflecting on the extent to which I have declined due to the absence of communication
Getting bad withdrawals, missing you my fault
Experiencing negative effects of withdrawal symptoms due to missing you, though it is my own fault
Sit against the wall, thinking back to all our memories
Sitting alone, reminiscing about the moments we shared
Secrets that you kept with me, love is still my remedy (Yea)
Recalling the secrets we shared, realizing that love is still my source of healing
I burned the photos, and letters below those
Destroying photographs and letters that held memories of our past
She said she wrote those, baby that's a low blow
Learning that you were the one who wrote those, which is deeply hurtful
Moving on is straining my brain
Finding it mentally challenging to move on from you
I took a shower to drain all of the puddles of pain (Yea)
Symbolically trying to cleanse myself from the emotional pain through a shower
You left your things, in my car
You unintentionally left reminders of yourself in my life
You left my life, and my heart
You departed from both my life and my emotional being
Don't know why, this path gets hard
Uncertain about why this journey becomes difficult
When your selfish, I can't help it
Struggling to cope with your self-centeredness
