Matt Hall Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I know you always see me through
Your hands in mine
When I ain't been that good to you
I think I talk too much about my own life
I wanna hear about yours, ya
I wanna hear about yours
But I should give you more, ya
I should give you more
Baby, I'm selfish
I should think of myself less
If I don't want somebody else then
Gotta focus on you
Baby, I'm selfish
Wanna act like myself less
Don't want nobody else, let's
Just focus on you, you
I'm gonna try telling you how perfect you are
Put in the time
I know you've been working too hard
I think I talk to much about my own life
I wanna hear about yours, ya
I wanna hear about yours
You give me the world, I just let you in mine
But I should give you more, ya
I should give you more
Baby, I'm selfish (Selfish)
I should think of myself less (Self less)
If I don't want somebody else then
Gotta focus on you
Baby, I'm selfish
Wanna act like myself less
Don't want nobody else, let's
Just focus on you, you
(Selfish, selfish)
(Don't want nobody else, let's focus on you)
I want you all of the time
That's how I wanna be selfish (Selfish, selfish, selfish)
I just want you to be mine
That's how I wanna be selfish (Selfish, selfish)
Baby, I'm selfish
I should think of myself less
If I don't want somebody else then
Gotta focus on you
Baby, I'm selfish
Wanna act like myself less
Don't want nobody else, let's
Just focus on you
I want you all of the time
That's how I wanna be selfish (Selfish, selfish, selfish)
I just want you to be mine
That's how I wanna be selfish (Selfish, selfish)
The lyrics to Matt Hall's song "Selfish" explore the theme of self-awareness and personal growth within a romantic relationship. The singer acknowledges his own flaws and recognizes that he has been too self-centered and focused on his own life. He realizes the importance of listening to his partner and showing genuine interest in their experiences. The repeated line "I wanna hear about yours" emphasizes his desire to shift the attention from himself to his partner. Despite acknowledging that his partner has been supportive and loving, he feels that he hasn't reciprocated enough and should give more to the relationship.
The chorus emphasizes the singer's self-realization, as he admits his selfishness and acknowledges the need to think less of himself. He recognizes that if he wants to maintain the relationship and not lose his partner, he must focus more on their needs and wants. The phrase "Baby, I'm selfish, Wanna act like myself less" reflects his desire to be less self-centered and more attentive to his partner's desires. The song ends on a vulnerable, yet sincere note, with the singer expressing his desire to be possessive of his partner, wanting them to be his and his alone.
Overall, "Selfish" is a reflection on personal growth and the commitment needed to nurture a healthy relationship. It serves as a reminder to be selfless, to prioritize the needs of our loved ones, and to continuously work on becoming a better partner.
