Selfish
Tiffi Lyrics

In the song "Selfish," Tiffi expresses her conflicted emotions towards someone who has consistently disappointed her. The lyrics convey her struggle to let go of this person, despite knowing their selfish nature. Tiffi acknowledges that she could choose to be disappointed and even tell herself that she hates them, but deep down, she knows it's a lie. Despite being let down numerous times, she cannot resist the pull towards this individual.

Tiffi contemplates buying this person a fancy car for their departure, as it would symbolize a grand exit and relieve her from hoping and praying for their return. By doing so, she imagines she would no longer be so attached. This reveals her desire to detach herself from the emotional turmoil that their presence in her life brings.

The chorus of the song highlights Tiffi's realization of this person's selfishness and her acknowledgment that they knew she would feel this way. However, their lack of care and reciprocity in sharing love has led her to feel hurt and unfulfilled in the relationship. She questions why she gave her love to someone who didn't reciprocate it.

The final line of the song portrays the pain Tiffi has experienced as she compares being cut out of this person's life to cutting boys out of magazines. This metaphor implies that this individual has eliminated Tiffi from their life in a brutal and emotionless manner.

Overall, "Selfish" captures the internal struggle of being drawn to someone who consistently disappoints, going against one's better judgment and ultimately feeling the pain of unrequited love and selfishness.
