Lyrics
I can see it in your eyes
I perceive your feelings through your eyes
You're starting to fall
You're beginning to fall in love
But baby don't act
But please don't pretend
Like I said I want something more
I don't desire something deeper, as I mentioned before
Cos this love's just a game
Because this love is a recurring game
That always ends the same
It always concludes in the same way
You either play or you get played
You either participate or become a victim
And baby I learnt the hard way
I learned the harsh lessons through personal experience
So I don't know why you wanna stay
So I don't understand why you wish to remain
When I tell you it's all in vain
When I inform you that it's futile
Cos I can't seem to change my ways
Because I struggle to alter my behavior
I told you I am selfish
I confessed that I am selfish
Rather be alone than give you a chance to break my trust
I prefer solitude over giving you an opportunity to betray my trust
But when I'm on my own, baby I want it I want your lust
But when I'm alone, I crave your passion
Cos this is the closest I'll let myself to love
This is as close as I allow myself to come to love
Cos I'm selfish
Because I am selfish
Oh I'm selfish yeah
Yes, I am selfish
Yeah I'm selfish cos I came up all on my own
Yes, I am selfish because I achieved success independently
Everybody that I loved has let go
Everyone I cared for has moved on
Why you think I find it so hard to get close
Why do you think it's difficult for me to get emotionally close?
Every time I let them in I get my heart broke
Every time I allow someone into my life, my heart gets broken
Young boy so I'mma stay faded
I'm a young boy, so I'll remain in a state of intoxication
Fast life so I probably won't make it
Living a fast-paced life, so I might not succeed
Put my trust in these drugs and this lust
I rely on drugs and lust, not love, as I know love is insufficient
Instead of love cos I know love will never be enough
Because this love is a recurring game
Cos this love's just a game
It always concludes in the same way
That always ends the same
You either participate or become a victim
You either play or you get played
I learned the harsh lessons through personal experience
And baby I learnt the hard way
So I don't understand why you wish to remain
So I don't know why you wanna stay
When I inform you that it's futile
When I tell you it's all in vain
Because I struggle to alter my behavior
Cos I can't seem to change my ways
I confessed that I am selfish
I told you I am selfish
I prefer solitude over giving you an opportunity to betray my trust
Rather be alone than give you a chance to break my trust
But when I'm alone, I crave your passion
But when I'm on my own, baby I want it I want your lust
This is as close as I allow myself to come to love
Cos this is the closest I'll let myself to love
Because I am selfish
Cos I'm selfish
Yes, I am selfish
Oh I'm selfish
Because this love is a recurring game
Cos this love's just a game
It always concludes in the same way
That always ends the same
You either participate or become a victim
You either play or you get played
I learned the harsh lessons through personal experience
And baby I learnt the hard way
So I don't understand why you wish to remain
I learnt the hard way
I learned the harsh lessons through personal experience
