Selfish Love Lyrics

I was a lion, you were a baby

You were a wine and I was a lady

With a fickle heart and fickle bones

A fickle way of needing home

Fingers dance and now I am alone

Tell me a story, one who has made me

A moralist liar, silent, angry

With a sickened heart and sickened bones

A sickened way of wanting home

Laugh and leave and now I am alone

But I have cried at night for you

In hope that you would fall into

The hole that has been suffocating me

But give me that selfish, selfish love

A hard-won jealousy I'm drinking from

And I am a flame with undying lust

For someone to give me your selfish love

Arrogant faces read like a novel

She gave me a gun and told me it's lawful

To kill the one who breaks your heart

Even if it's done in part

In ignorance of who we would become

But I have lain in wait for you

In hope that you would fall into

The bitterness that eats me alive

But give me that selfish, selfish love

A hard-won jealousy I'm drinking from

And I am a flame with undying lust

For someone to give me your selfish love

So come on and give me your selfish, selfish love

I'm giving up, I don't wanna live in selfish love

I'm giving up, I don't wanna live in selfish, selfish love

I'm giving up, I don't wanna live in selfish love

(I don't want anything from you, babe, I need everything from you)

I'm giving up, I don't wanna live in selfish, selfish love

(I don't want anything from you, babe, I need everything from you)

I'm giving up, I don't wanna live in selfish love

(I don't want anything from you, babe, I need everything from you)

I'm giving up, I don't wanna live in selfish, selfish

(I don't want anything from you, babe, I need everything from you)
