I'm Selfish
Love's Dilemma: Jaye Newton's 'I'm Selfish' Unraveled
Lyrics
I can't
I am unable to
I can't do this anymore like it's either you want me
I cannot continue like this; it's a choice between wanting me or not
Or you don't cause like damn i love you but i love me more so you
Expressing deep love, but prioritizing self-love, urging a decision
Got to make up your mind
You must decide and be clear about your feelings
What's your intention girl I got to know
Seeking clarity on the partner's intentions
What on your mind baby please tell me more
Asking for open communication about what's on the partner's mind
So scared of love your emotions never show
Noticing a fear of love, with emotions kept hidden
If you don't open up we'll never grow
Expressing the need for emotional openness for relationship growth
I need a green light so i can go
Seeking a clear signal or permission to proceed
But it seems like you love yellow
Observing a hesitation or preference for caution in love
We smile in public but that's just for show
Public displays of affection may be a facade
Unsatisfied I'm always wanting more
Feeling unsatisfied and always desiring more
And I don't know
Expressing uncertainty or confusion
How far I'm willing
Uncertain about the extent of willingness in the relationship
How come I cannot let go
Questioning the difficulty of letting go
Why can't i let go?
Expressing the struggle to release emotions
We ain't been the same in a mighty long time
Noticing a significant change in the relationship
How can I get jealous when i know that you ain't mine
Acknowledging a lack of right to be jealous
I'm so indecisive i can never choice
Admitting difficulty in making decisions
Cause i know in the end someone gon' lose
Aware of potential loss for someone in the end
I'm so selfish i want you all to myself
Admitting selfishness, desiring exclusivity
But your love for me i know is bad for your health
Acknowledging that their love might be harmful
I wish i could stay away from you but i can't
Expressing difficulty staying away despite knowing it's necessary
You think highly of me but I ain't a saint
Acknowledging a positive perception but admitting flaws
I lost my balance for you girl i fell
Having fallen deeply for the partner
You ain't felt this way before i can tell
Believing the partner hasn't experienced this level of emotion before
Subtweeting you I'm just hoping you peep
Indirectly expressing feelings on social media, hoping the partner notices
Slide to your place when the world is asleep
Planning to visit the partner discreetly
Hold tight girl I'm on the way
Assuring the partner of commitment and effort
For you you know I'll go out my way
Expressing willingness to go out of the way for the partner
Who else gonna make sure you're okay
Asserting the role of being there for the partner's well-being
But somehow we still living in the gray we still living in the...
Despite efforts, the relationship remains uncertain or ambiguous
(You say you love me and you say you want me but you're still with her i can't
Expressing frustration at the partner's simultaneous involvement with another person
I can't do this anymore like it's Either you want me or you don't cause like damn
Reiterating the need for a decision on the relationship
I love you but i love me more so you
Acknowledging love but prioritizing self-love and urging a decision
Got to make up your mind...)
Reiterating the necessity for the partner to make a clear choice
