Prompt / Lyrics
[Verse 1] You’re cooking late in my old t-shirt Asking where I’ve been all night I kiss your neck Change the subject Say the traffic lights were tight Lay my phone face-down on the table Laugh too hard at your bad joke You believe the way I’m leaning in Can’t smell the perfume on my coat [Chorus] I’m so selfish with your heart Hold you close with broken hands Giving pieces in the dark That I promised someone else I’m the reason we could fall apart But I still beg you not to go Yeah I’m selfish with your heart And I hate that I know [Verse 2] We’re making plans for next December But I’m stuck in last July Deleting names Changing ringtones Like that rewrites every lie You say “Baby Are you happy?” I say “More than you could guess” But the truth is tangled in my throat So I drown it in your chest [Chorus] I’m so selfish with your heart Hold you close with broken hands Giving pieces in the dark That I promised someone else I’m the reason we could fall apart But I still beg you not to go Yeah I’m selfish with your heart And I hate that I know [Bridge] I should let you leave Let you find a love that’s clean But I pull you back ’Cause I love the way you need me (oh) I’m the villain in your story But I’m scared of losing home So I’ll lie here in your glory Praying you don’t ever know [Chorus] I’m so selfish with your heart Hold you close with broken hands Giving pieces in the dark That I promised someone else I’m the reason we could fall apart But I still beg you not to go Yeah I’m selfish with your heart More than you’ll ever know [Outro] You’re asleep and I’m just staring At the mess inside my chest If loving you means letting go Guess I’m not there yet (not yet)
