"Selfish" lyrics

"Selfish"

You play my heart like I play my guitar
Break all the strings cause I play way too hard
As fake as it sounds it was real from the start
Passion is everything until it's not

I could tell it was downhill from here
I reversed engineered a plan out of my fears
They grew strong (way too strong)
I'll hold on (not for long)
Was surprised this ain't where I belong

Growing distant you could tell
I hate sleeping by myself
Is it selfish? I can't help it
Slowing drifting miles apart
Save yourself I'm crashing hard
Call it selfish I can't help it

I lie awake in my bed till it's dawn
It didn't get easier guess I was wrong
Scared to let go of what's already gone
Passion is everything until it's not

I could tell it was downhill from here
I look back on the years you held back but your tears
We're too strong (way too strong)
I'll hold on (not for long)
Was surprised this ain't where I belong

Growing distant you could tell
I hate sleeping by myself
Is it selfish? I can't help it
Slowing drifting miles apart
Save yourself I'm crashing hard
Call it selfish I can't help it
