Selfish
Unveiling Heartache: Ciara Maria's Selfish Soul Confession
Lyrics
I'm selfish, broken
Expressing a sense of self-centeredness and emotional pain
Hoping you know that
Hoping for understanding of the depth of affection for the person's essence
I love you and your soul
Professing love for both the person and their inner being
And I'd hate to see you go
Expressing fear or distress at the thought of losing the person
I'm selfish, breaking
Feeling self-absorbed and emotionally fractured
Worn out from faking
Tired and exhausted from pretending or concealing true feelings
I can't be yours, anymore
Unable to commit or belong to the person any longer
I'm running out the door
Feeling compelled to leave or escape the situation
And I'm feeling like a stranger in my
Experiencing detachment and estrangement within oneself
Skin I never seem to win I'm
Struggling to achieve success or contentment
Hoping you can hear me through these
Desiring to communicate despite self-imposed barriers
Walls I built up
Referring to emotional barriers created to protect oneself
What do I do now?
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about what steps to take next
I hate to make this about me, but I've
Recognizing the tendency to focus on oneself despite reluctance
Got these thoughts, I just can't sleep
Struggling with persistent thoughts causing sleeplessness
I hate it, don't you agree?
Disliking the situation and seeking agreement or validation
I wanna let this go
Desiring to release or let go of the emotional burden
Back and forth and upside down and I'm
Experiencing confusion or turmoil, feeling unsettled
Driving fast from town to town
Traveling incessantly, seeking something elusive
Looking for what I can't find
Searching for something unidentifiable or unattainable
Always saying goodbye
Frequently parting ways or ending relationships
And I'm feeling like a stranger in my
Feeling disconnected from oneself, unable to achieve victories
Skin I never seem to win I'm
Continuing struggles to overcome personal challenges
Hoping you can hear me through these
Desiring communication despite internal barriers
Walls I built up
Referring to emotional defenses constructed for protection
What do I do now?
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about what steps to take next
What do I, what do I do now?
Reiterating the uncertainty about what actions to pursue
(What do I do?)
Questioning what steps to take given the surrounding barriers
With these walls all around?
Feeling surrounded or enclosed by emotional obstacles
(All around, all around)
Emphasizing the pervasive nature of these emotional barriers
Well I'm selfish and I'm broken
Acknowledging a self-centered and emotionally damaged state
And I don't want you to know it
Not wanting the person to realize the internal struggle
I'm feeling like you've known
Sensing that the person might have been aware of the emotional turmoil
All along
Feeling that the person might have understood the situation all along
I'm feeling like a stranger in my
Continued feeling of disconnect within oneself
Skin I never seem to win I'm
Struggling to overcome personal challenges and attain success
Hoping you can hear me through these
Desiring communication despite internal barriers
Walls I built up
Referring to emotional defenses constructed for protection
What do I do now?
Expressing uncertainty or confusion about what steps to take next
