Selfish Lyrics by Avalon Young

2017

[Verse 1 ]
You cling to my body like a wet T-shirt
You hate to say you're sorry, but you hate to see me hurt
And it used to feel like
An airport goodbye
Every single time
You kiss me goodnight but
Yeah

Now I need so much more than just your touch to get me high

[Chorus 1]
So I light up, yeah
I ignite some, yeah
Until you get home from work and wanna fight, love, yeah
Could we rewind, love?
You ain't gotta act like nothing's wrong
Oh no
So we make up
You give me that fake love
You say you're ok, love
Everything's ok, love

But you ain't gotta act like nothing's wrong
Ohh no no no no

[Chorus2]
You say that I'm trippin'
But I beg to differ
I feel something missin'
I know we've been slippin'
For a long long long long time
Tryna make all of these wrongs feel right
You've been actin' selfish
I've been feelin' jealous
Tryin' to be selfless
I've been feelin' helpless
For a long long long long time
Tryna make all of these wrongs feel right

{Verse 2]
Your bed is king sized
Just like your pride
And I can't change your mind, nah nah
'Cause you just wanna act like nothing's wrong
Mmm yeah
I wish you could remember
The person that you were back when I met ya
Even when you do me wrong I can't forget ya
And all I really wanna do is forget ya
Yeah yeah

[Chorus 1]
So I light up, yeah
I ignite some, yeah
Until you get home from work and wanna fight, love, yeah
Could we rewind, love?
You ain't gotta act like nothing's wrong
No no no
And so we make up
You give me that fake love
You say you're ok, love
Everything's ok, love
Oh

You ain't gotta act like nothing's wrong
No no no no no no

[Chorus 2]
You say that I'm trippin'
But I beg to differ
I feel something missin'
I know we've been slippin'
For a long long long long time
Tryna make all of these wrongs feel right
You've been actin' selfish
I've been feelin' jealous
Tryin' to be selfless
I've been feelin' helpless
For a long long long long time
Tryna make all of these wrongs feel right

Yeah

[Outro]
A long long time
It's been a
A long long time
All these wrongs feel right
A long long time
