SELFISH
The Kid LAROI Lyrics

I hope you know what you did to me
I know the harm you have caused me

I'm grateful for what you did for me
I appreciate the good things that you did for me

You showed me that you ain't shit, and these bitches is dangerous
You proved to me that you are of poor character and that women like you can be harmful

Now I do 'em just how you did to me
I treat other women the way you treated me

And I know you see the pain in my eyes, every secret and lie
You are aware of the agony I am experiencing because of your lies and secrets

Got a reason to cry 'fore I sleep at night
I have many reasons to cry myself to sleep at night

I need my peace of mind, I see you fine
I require inner calmness, although you appear unbothered

But I'm far from that, so
Nevertheless, I am not yet at peace

Now, I'ma be savage
From now on, I will be ruthless

And you made it happen
You were the catalyst for this change in me

And you made a habit
You established a pattern of mistreating me

I get it now
I now understand what you were doing

I wonder what happened?
I am pondering how things fell apart

I thought we would last
I believed that we would have a long-lasting relationship

'Stead we turned into ashes
Instead, our connection disintegrated

Burning and crashing
Our relationship was fiery and chaotic

Why can't I get past it?
I am struggling to move on from this situation

Damn girl, you changed up the best one
You altered the best thing you ever had (me)

I just feel sorry for my next one
I pity the next person who loves me

'Cause I'ma be selfish, I'm gon' be selfish
I will act out of self-interest and prioritize my needs

And no one can change my mind, no one can help me
Nobody can convince me to act otherwise or assist me to change

Oh, I'm gon' be bad, bad, bad
I will behave recklessly

Because I just can't, do this again
I cannot endure the pain of another failed relationship

Don't wanna feel like this again, so she has to
I do not want to experience this again, so I will have to be selfish with my next partner

Now I'm up in LA, I'm with a bitch from the Bay
Currently, I am in Los Angeles with a woman from the Bay Area

I'm telling her that I love her, but my feelings are fake
I am telling her that I love her, but I do not really feel that way

Because I found another, and I'll tell her the same
I am interested in someone else and will tell her the same lies

Knowing that I don't mean a thing I say
Although I say it, I do not actually mean it

(Help me, don't give up on me)
(I require assistance, do not abandon me)
