selfish
Jeremy Zucker Lyrics

What do I gotta do to make you all mine
Asking the person what he needs to do in order to be in a relationship with her.

What do I gotta say to make it all smiles
Asking the person what he must say in order to make her happy.

You got other things to do than waste my time
The person believes the other is ignoring him because she isn't interested.

'Cause I've been so selfish
The person recognizes his past behavior as selfish and controlling.

And I just can't help it, yeah
The person is acknowledging that he can't change his behavior.

Girl just slow down
He is asking her to take a step back and give their relationship time.

There ain't nobody faster in this whole town
He believes that he is the only one who can make her happy.

But I just got caught up in all this phony
He admits to playing games in their relationship.

Bullshit about how I should be lowkey
He feels like he's been told to hide his feelings for her.

When you won't even speak to me
He is frustrated because she is not communicating with him.

And I never thought that you stabbed my back
The person is surprised that the other may have deceived him.

But I should have known when you dance like that
He recognized that the other's actions were questionable.

'Cause even my friends could have told me twice
Even his friends could see that something was off about their relationship.

And I should have followed my own advice
He admits to not taking his own advice.

I should have let you go eons ago
He believes he should have been done with their relationship a long time ago.

To watch the world spin on my own
He thinks it would have been better to focus on himself.

But isn't that selfish
He is questioning whether or not it would have been selfish to do so.

This heart, this soul
He is referring to himself, stating that he has a heart and soul.

Unwilling to let go
He admits that he has difficulty letting go of their relationship.

I swear, I care
He promises that he has feelings for the other person.

Just not when you're not here
He only has feelings when the other is present.

I know I don't have any self control
He knows that he has issues with controlling his behavior.

To let go and it feels so good
He recognizes that letting go would be best for him.

Just like you said you would
He remembers the other person saying that she would leave if things didn't improve.

really I don't find you (where'd you go oh oh)
He can't find the other person and doesn't know where she went.
