Lyrics
I just can't help it I'm so selfish
Expressing an inability to control selfish feelings
I need you to myself
Desire to have the person exclusively
The stars just not as bright up in the sky when you're not there
Comparing the absence of the person to dimmer stars
And when you said you loved me
Questioning the sincerity of the person's past declaration of love
Did that love just disappear
Wondering if the love expressed has faded away
My heart is cold and broken girl I know you know it
Acknowledging a cold and broken heart, assuming the person is aware
I just can't be here when you tell me it's your time to go
Unable to be present when the person decides to leave
We're better off when we're together everybody knows
Belief that being together is better for everyone
I'm staying focused I still need your body
Emphasizing focus on the person's body
You ain't just anybody
Stating the person is not just anybody, holds significance
Girl you the only one
Affirming the person's uniqueness, the only one
Stars they gone fall when you come around
Anticipating positive events when the person is around
Angels will cry when you hold me now babe
Symbolic description of emotional impact with angels crying
Your type of beauty's in heaven's gates
Describing the person's beauty as heavenly
I can't believe you would separate
Expressing disbelief at the idea of separation
Your love from me
Requesting the person not to withdraw love
Is this what you wanted
Questioning if the current situation is what the person desired
Can you keep it 100
Asking for honesty, to keep it real 100%
I just want to know
Expressing a desire to know the truth
Was it real for you
Questioning the authenticity of past experiences
Is this what you wanted
Reiteration of the query about the person's desires
Can you keep it 100
Repeating the request for complete honesty
I just want to know
Reiterating the desire to know the truth
Was it real for you
Repeating the question about the authenticity of past experiences
I just can't help it I'm so selfish
Reiteration of the inability to control selfish feelings
I need you to myself
Restating the need to have the person exclusively
The stars just not as bright up in the sky when you're not there
Repeating the metaphor of dimmer stars in the absence of the person
And when you said you loved me
Revisiting doubts about the sincerity of past declarations of love
Did that love just disappear
Revisiting the question of whether love has disappeared
My heart is cold and broken girl I know you know it
Reiteration of a cold and broken heart, assuming the person is aware
I just can't be here when you tell me it's your time to go
Reiteration of inability to be present when the person decides to leave
We're better off when we're together everybody knows
Reiteration that being together is better for everyone
I'm staying focused I still need your body
Reemphasis on focus on the person's body
You ain't just anybody
Reiterating that the person is not just anybody
Girl you the only one
Reaffirming the person's uniqueness, the only one
