"Played Myself" lyrics

Just the other day, I felt you treatin' me some type of way
I swear I saw it on your face, but I guess that wasn't the case
Story short, I made a move, but all I did was make a fool
Out of myself, it wasn't cool, the feelin' wasn't mutual, yeah

I played myself, I'll admit it
I got lost in my imagination, didn't read the situation
It ain't your fault, I get it
You were bein' nice and I was bein' so in love with you

Hmm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm

Yeah, I ain't tryna be alpha, but I beta be with ya
That's what I told her 'fore she gave me the cold shoulder, mm-mm
I've been gettin' so sick of never bein' the sigma
That's what I get for never bein' hard-to-get, yeah, yeah
Just the other day, I felt you treatin' me some type of way
Felt somethin' shift in our embrace, but I guess that wasn't the case
Maybe it was just a phase when you said, "I see us one day"
I tried so hard to not get played, but here I wound up anyway

I played myself, I'll admit it
I got lost in my imagination, didn't read the situation
It ain't your fault, I get it
You were bein' nice and I was bein' so in love with you

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm
So in love with you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm-mm, mm-mm-mm, mm-mm

Always an opportunity to grow in some humility
Got hit with hard reality, now I'll become a better me
I set myself up for failure, and that's on me
All of the signs, they were clear, just chose not to see, yeah

I played myself, I'll admit it
I got lost inside my own ambition, told myself that we were clickin'
It ain't your fault, I get it
You were bein' nice and I was bein' so in love with you

I'm so in love with you
