[Nic D, Connor Price - Selfish lyrics]
I built a house to harbor myself in
I locked you out, I know that I'm selfish
My mother told me to follow my feet
But my legs feel weak, can't help it
Said I'm doin' fine, I'm gettin' no sleep
(No sleep) hold my breath every time the
Phone screen lights up
Prayin' it's your name that I'm gon' see
(Gon' see) but it's not, startin' to
Regret the cold feet, i'm stuck
Try to tell myself I'm good without you
But I'm really not
I've been havin' trouble tryna tell
You how I feel inside
Bein' by your side the only
Time I ever feel alive
Don't overexaggerate
You told me that a million times
Okay, well maybe not a million times
But if we kept it goin'
We could reach the sky
I played it safe, think I need a roof
Thought it could be me and you
But I couldn't see it through, so
I built a house to harbor myself in
I locked you out, I know that I'm selfish
My mother told me to follow my feet
But my legs feel weak, can't
I used to be your rock
Lately you've been skippin' stones
You still wanna talk?
I'd rather take the sticks and stones
Hurts more than I thought
I guess I got some brittle bones
So now when you knock
Sorry, baby, isn't home, no
And maybe this time it's different, yeah
Maybe the scale is tippin', yeah
House got a well I'm wishin', yeah
So I make wishes if I just wished it
I won't have to work for it
If I just get lucky
I won't have to work for it
If I just get money
I won't have to work for it
Right? In the meantime
I built a house to harbor myself in
I locked you out, I know that I'm selfish
My mother told me to follow my feet
But my legs feel weak, can't help it
I built a house to harbor myself in
I locked you out, I know that I'm selfish
My mother told me to follow my feet
But my legs feel weak, can't help it
I locked you out, I know that I'm selfish
My mother told me to follow my feet
But my legs feel weak, can't help it
Said I'm doin' fine, I'm gettin' no sleep
(No sleep) hold my breath every time the
Phone screen lights up
Prayin' it's your name that I'm gon' see
(Gon' see) but it's not, startin' to
Regret the cold feet, i'm stuck
Try to tell myself I'm good without you
But I'm really not
I've been havin' trouble tryna tell
You how I feel inside
Bein' by your side the only
Time I ever feel alive
Don't overexaggerate
You told me that a million times
Okay, well maybe not a million times
But if we kept it goin'
We could reach the sky
I played it safe, think I need a roof
Thought it could be me and you
But I couldn't see it through, so
