Selfish Lyrics by SVEA

This Is

2018

[Verse 1]
People say that I'm a narcissist
’Cause I'm awake like this, just think about myself
It doesn't mean that I’m a narcissist
Yeah, yeah, yeah
And you think that you have left my mind
Because I take my time, just working on myself
It doesn't mean that you have left my mind
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like the worst is over, weight of my shoulders
And now my heart is sober from you
No, we don't have to end it, but I've been codependent
I used to break and bend, so now

[Chorus]
I don't need to think twice, I don't need to play nice (Ah-oh-oh)
Feels like it's about time, play by heart and not mind
And get a little selfish
I don't mean to act tough, I just pick myself up (Ah-oh-oh)
Feels like it’s about time, play by heart and not mind
And get a little selfish

[Post-Chorus]
And get a little selfish

[Verse 2]
People think that you’re my enemy
'Cause all my energy is used upon myself
It doesn’t mean that you're my enemy
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Feels like the worst is over, weight of my shoulders
And now my heart is sober from you
No, we don't have to end it, but I've been codependent
I used to break and bend, so now (So now, woah)

[Chorus]
I don’t need to think twice, I don't need to play nice (Ah-oh-oh)
Feels like it's about time, play by heart and not mind
And get a little selfish
I don't mean to act tough, I just pick myself up (Ah-oh-oh)
Feels like it's about time, play by heart and not mind
And get a little selfish

[Post-Chorus]
And get a little selfish

[Bridge]
Feels like the worst is over, weight of my shoulders
And now my heart is sober from you
No, we don't have to end it, but I've been codependent
I used to break and bend, so now

[Chorus]
I don't need to think twice, I don't need to play nice (Ah-oh-oh)
Feels like it's about time, play by heart and not mind
And get a little selfish
I don't mean to act tough, I just pick myself up (Ah-oh-oh)
Feels like it's about time, play by heart and not mind
And get a little selfish

[Outro]
And get a little selfish
And get a little selfish
