Selfish
NEIMY Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I feel I can't decide if this is for the best
You have so many great qualities I like
I guess things are like that, not just black or white
I know I'm not always, expressing my point of view
I bet that's the problem, now I'm gonna tell the truth
I don't mind helping out but this is so much more
I could go on about all the times you let me down
But for my own sake I, put you on hold for now
You're so selfish
You're so selfish
I know we're humans and we all make mistakes
That's what I keep in mind when our relations fail
You always have your way, there's no in-between
I've gotten used to that, just wish that you could see
But I know I'm not always, expressing my point of view
I bet that's the problem, now I'm gonna tell the truth
You're so selfish, that's the word I'm looking for
I don't mind helping out but this is so much more
I could go on about all the times you let me down
But for my own sake I, put you on hold for now
You're so selfish
You're so selfish
You're so selfish
So selfish
You're still so selfish
