Selfish
Sheffdan Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Looked once or twice so I didn't learn
I was sitting on not too much
But enough to say that I'm worth some love
So I tried to cash out everything I earned
But I came back broke cause you stolen
All that I have
Take it to the left (Nah)
Take it to the backroom
I'm just tryna fuck
Don't act like I know you like that
Man I left you
Crying in my bedroom
I'm just tryna fuck
Don't act like I know you like that
Girl I don't have the time to waste
On anyone yet alone myself
Yeah I'm fucking selfish (Huh)
Tell me about it
Well it's not like I tried my best
We don't talk about that
Organise the time and place
Reorganise the time and place
Reorganise reorganise like every time
Yeah fucking right I'm thinking I
Was stupid to accept
Happiness might be coming true
But it left with a pair of high heels owned by you
I knew it wasn't true
Take it to the left (Nah)
Take it to the backroom
I'm just tryna fuck
Don't act like I know you like that
Man I left you
Crying in my bedroom
I'm just tryna fuck
Don't act like I know you like that
Girl I don't have the time to waste
On anyone yet alone myself
Yeah I'm fucking selfish (Huh)
Tell me about it baby
That's that bullshit coming through (Yeah yeah)
Yeah that's that bullshit coming through (Yeah yeah)
You said I feel the same as you so
Why the fuck do I wait on you
This aging like some spoiled milk
I set aside my feelings true they were
And I won't hide it
I got over them but I then
Have to deal with all these games
I grew up but I'm still playing
I don't wanna be that way no more
I don't wanna be this way no more
I had hope for the first time
In such a long time and you gave it up
At least that's how I feel
I know that's how I feel
Take it to the left (Nah)
Take it to the backroom
I'm just tryna fuck
Don't act like I know you like that
Man I left you
Crying in my bedroom
I'm just tryna fuck
Don't act like I know you like that
Girl I don't have the time to waste
On anyone yet alone myself
Yeah I'm fucking selfish (Huh)
Tell me about it baby

Line by Line Meaning
Checking the receipt for what I'm worth
I'm trying to evaluate my value in this relationship
Looked once or twice so I didn't learn
I didn't pay much attention before
I was sitting on not too much
I didn't have much in the relationship
But enough to say that I'm worth some love
I'm deserving of love regardless of what I have to offer
So I tried to cash out everything I earned
I tried to get what I deserved from the relationship
But I came back broke cause you stolen
You took everything from me
All that I have
I had nothing left
So love isn't the plan
I'm not interested in love anymore
Take it to the left (Nah)
I don't want to deal with this
Take it to the backroom
Let's be intimate without getting to know each other
I'm just tryna fuck
I'm only interested in sex
Don't act like I know you like that
Don't think I have any real feelings for you
Man I left you
I walked away from you
Crying in my bedroom
You were upset and I didn't care
Girl I don't have the time to waste
I'm not interested in wasting my time
On anyone yet alone myself
Not even on myself
Yeah I'm fucking selfish (Huh)
I only care about myself
Tell me about it
I know I'm selfish
Well it's not like I tried my best
I didn't put much effort into this
We don't talk about that
I don't want to discuss how I didn't try
Organize the time and place
Let's plan when and where to have sex
Reorganize the time and place
Let's change our previous plan for sex
Reorganize, reorganize like every time
We keep changing our plans
Yeah fucking right I'm thinking I
I know better
Was stupid to accept
I regret agreeing to this
Happiness might be coming true
I had hope for happiness
But it left with a pair of high heels owned by you
You took my hope away
I knew it wasn't true
I knew I wouldn't find happiness in this relationship
That's that bullshit coming through (Yeah yeah)
I see through your lies
You said I feel the same as you so
You claimed to have the same feelings as me
Why the fuck do I wait on you
But I'm always waiting for you
This aging like some spoiled milk
Our relationship is getting worse over time
I set aside my feelings true they were
I ignored my true feelings
And I won't hide it
I won't continue to ignore my feelings
I got over them but I then
I tried to move on, but
Have to deal with all these games
You keep playing games with me
I grew up but I'm still playing
I'm tired of playing games but I'm still stuck in this cycle
I don't wanna be that way no more
I don't want to continue being stuck in this cycle
I had hope for the first time
I was optimistic for the first time in a while
In such a long time and you gave it up
But you took that hope away from me
At least that's how I feel
That's how it feels to me
Tell me about it baby
I know how it feels
