Yeah
Whoa, yeah, yeah
Yeah

It's been over for a year or so
I should've left a couple tears ago
And even when I'm with you, I still feel alone
Got me down on my knees

Heart is froze, I don't feel nothing
Drinkin' and drugs just to feel somethin'
Stranger outside, can you let me in?
Can you love me back, please?

Can the past stop repeating?
Can you let me down easy?

You're selfish, selfish, how do you love?
Too much, too much, never enough
You're a liar, liar, who can I trust?
I love you, you love you more
Selfish, selfish, how do you love?
Too much, too much, never enough
You're a liar, liar, who can I trust?
I love you, you love you more

Sometimes I wanna call, but I got shit to do
I'm tryin' to forget, but then I'm missin' you
Addicted to yourself, you gotta read the room
'Cause ain't nobody watchin' but you think they do (think they do)

Yeah, tell me what you want from me
Can you love me back please? (Love me back)
Tell me what you want from me (tell me what you want for me)
Can you love me back, you love me back, please?

You're selfish, selfish, how do you love?
Too much, too much, never enough
You're a liar, liar, who can I trust?
I love you, you love you more
Selfish, selfish, how do you love?
Too much, too much, never enough
You're a liar, liar, who can I trust?
I love you, you love you more

Tell me what you want from me
Can you love me back please?
Tell me what you want from me, ayy, ooh
Tell me what you want from me
Can you love me back please? (Can you love me back?)
Tell me what you want from me
Can you love me back, you love me back, please? (Ooh)

You're selfish, selfish, how do you love?
Too much, too much, never enough
You're a liar, liar, who can I trust?
I love you, you love you more
Selfish, selfish, how do you love?
Too much, too much, never enough
You're a liar, liar, who can I trust?
I love you, you love you more

Tell me what you want from me
Can you love me back please?




Tell me what you want from me
I love you, you love you more

Overall Meaning

The chorus "You're selfish, selfish, how do you love? Too much, too much, never enough. You're a liar, liar, who can I trust? I love you, you love you more" suggests that the singer's ex-partner is self-centered and doesn't care about their feelings. The lines "Sometimes I wanna call, but I got shit to do. I'm tryin' to forget, but then I'm missin' you" highlight the singer's struggle with trying to move on but still being attached to their past relationship.

To all who take and thing of bible as something that place us into slavery:
The bible FREE`s us from slavery of any kind. Those who manage to read that out from bible is either still stick in religions or simply misread the BIBLE. But without CHRIST we do live in slavery in many different ones. So, what`s holding you back from getting FREE again?

Jesus said that the only way to be SAVED is to be BORN AGAIN... What does this mean? The new birth is not any of the following: baptism, church membership, partaking of communion, reforming one’s life, prayer, or good works. The new birth is a change of heart. God gives us the new birth when we take U turn to Him with remorse for our sinful lifestyle and repent(Godly Sorow Produces Repentance and Leading to Salvation). God sees when we are ready for the new birth. We will know when we are born again. We will have a free conscience, a desire to do right, and an assurance of a home in heaven. Jesus tells us that the gates of heaven are closed to us unless we are born again. Therefore, we ask: Friend, are you born again (Spiritually Circumcised Sinner who takes U turn from the Sinful Lifestyle and Surrenders to Jesus) Church member, are you born again? If not, then you are lost. For Jesus says, “Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God” (John 3:3). We are in Last Days...Pls be Born Again... May your Soul be Saved... May your Name be in the Lamb’s Book of Life... Amen
Notice the wording – always. As we call upon the name of the LORD – WE GET SAVED but to be saved (contune to be saved) – need a new birth – from SPIRIT/From above = YOU MUST BE BORN AGAIN. Calling upon the name of the LORD yet contune old life - keep sinning - SALVATION LOST.
Sins must go - or the SAVING was never real.


Since the EARTH isn`t older then 6000 + years - therefore - all who still stating that anything "evolved" for millions and millions years back = lying twice. Nothing and nobody haven`t been millions and millions years back and never did anything "evolved" - ALL WERE CTREATED DIRECTLY BY GOD ALMOST 7000 YEARS BACK.


How so? - because 1 day = 1000 years and 1000 years = 1 day.
How many days past since EARTH was fully created? - 6 days.
