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)
