Goodbye to My Selfish Friend

[Verse 1]
Told you my secret like a sister
Said I was safe in your hands
Next day he’s looking at me sideways
’Cause you went and changed the plan
You loved the way they said your name
You loved the center of the stage
Call me a “control freak” in whispers
Then smile right in my face
[Chorus]
So this is goodbye to my selfish friend
You only loved me when it helped you win
You took my truth, turned it into a show
I’m closing that door, I’m letting you go
This is goodbye, yeah, from me to you
You burned that bridge, now enjoy the view
No second chance, no making amends
It’s done, it’s done
Goodbye to my selfish friend
[Verse 2]
You wanted him looking in your direction
Used my confession as your shine
Took my heart, made it your subplot
Like my pain was just a line
You say I always wanna run things
Girl, I just wanted some respect
If boundaries make me a monster
Then go sing that to the next
[Chorus]
So this is goodbye to my selfish friend
You only loved me when it helped you win
You took my truth, turned it into a show
I’m closing that door, I’m letting you go
This is goodbye, yeah, from me to you
You burned that bridge, now enjoy the view
No second chance, no making amends
It’s done, it’s done
Goodbye to my selfish friend
[Bridge]
I’m not your backup, not your sidekick (nah)
Not your mirror, not your side pic (hey!)
I gave you love, you gave me lies
Now I’m done shrinking to your size
I hope the spotlight keeps you warm at night
’Cause you just lost someone who would’ve ride or died
[Chorus]
So this is goodbye to my selfish friend
You only loved me when it helped you win
You took my truth, turned it into a show
I’m closing that door, I’m letting you go
This is goodbye, yeah, from me to you
You burned that bridge, now enjoy the view
No second chance, no making amends
It’s done, it’s done
Goodbye to my selfish friend
